“You Are Not Your Mistakes” – Prudent Ludidi
A mistake is defined as an act or judgement that is misguided or wrong.
We’ve all made these acts of judgements throughout our lives and as long as we are human , we will continue to make them.
But here’s the truth, we are not our mistakes.
You are more than that one wrong decision, that one failed relationship, or that one missed opportunity. You are more than your flaws, your weaknesses, and your regrets.
Mistakes are events, not identities. They do not define you. They do not dictate your worth. And they do not determine your future.
You are a unique, talented, and worthy individual, capable of growth, learning, and change. You have strengths, skills, and experiences that make you who you are.
But when we identify with our mistakes, we lose sight of our true selves. We become trapped in a cycle of self-doubt, self-blame, and shame.
So, how can we break free?
Separate your self-worth from your mistakes
Practice self-compassion and self-forgiveness
Focus on your strengths and accomplishments
Learn from your mistakes and move forward
Surround yourself with supportive people
Remember, every success story began with failure. Every hero had flaws. And every triumph required perseverance.
You are not your mistakes. You are a resilient, capable, and powerful individual.
Don’t let mistakes define you. Define yourself.
You are:
Stronger than your struggles
Wiser than your weaknesses
Braver than your fears
More than your mistakes
Believe it. Embody it. Live it.
