There is no single person in the world, who has never made a mistake. We are a human being and we tend to do it. There is no harm in it.
It’s okay to make mistakes but the problem happens when you don’t learn from them and keep feeling guilty all the time.
Sometimes, those mistakes leave deep wounds hurting your soul. Their consequences are so unpleasing that you don’t even give yourself a chance to forgive yourself.
Those mistakes block your progress. For example, you made a big career mistake in the past and wasted your father’s money on a bad career choice. You keep blaming yourself and the depression captivates your soul.
Realizing your mistakes is good, it’s a sign of maturity. But not forgiving yourself is fatal. This ruins your mental health and leads to depression and anxiety when you keep running away from them.
