your daily rock : admit mistakes with grace

May 22, 2013 in Daily Rock, General

We carry so, so much around with us. Hurts, responsibilities, wrongs, rights, weight, dreams.

And mistakes. Oh, we carry them around, and they are weighty.

And when we can’t admit them with grace, not defensiveness, not only are we weighed down by them, but so are the people around us who have been affected by those mistakes.

Own it. Step up. Today. Extend grace to yourself by extending it to others.

Allow others to experience your fullest humanity, shadows, mistakes, and all.

Love,
