“Isn’t it nice to think that tomorrow is a new day with no mistakes in it yet?” ― L.M. Montgomery

“Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes.” ― Mahatma Gandhi

If people refuse to look at you in a new light and they can only see you for what you were, only see you for the mistakes you’ve made, if they don’t realize that you are not your mistakes, then they have to go.”    Steve Maraboli, Life, the Truth, and Being Free

I do not think that I could live under the gaze of someone who only saw my past and not my potential. Someone who was constantly reminding me of my failings, imperfections and weaknesses. That kind of association would have both immediate and long-term consequences on my emotional and physical well-being. With that said… I must make absolutely sure that I am not that person in the life of anyone else. I don’t want to kill confidence, I want to create it. ~ Kirk Weisler
