This is such a big idea that can go in different directions. Know this: God’s grace is always sufficient and is available to anyone that receives it and learns to accept it. And that is where my focus is!
Give yourself grace.
This was new for me. I was brutal towards myself in words and deed. I would tear myself apart with words for the littlest “failures” and physically hurt myself through actions if I had done something I considered wrong.
Neither of these responses to “self” are acceptable. We want to be successful. We are going through this process to change something about our life, or maybe even multiple somethings.
Know this truth – It is absolutely impossible to be perfect the first time and then every time after especially when learning something new. Period! No matter how much I want to get it right, I will screw it up at some point. Not because I am a failure, but because I am human. I will never know everything about everything!
Know that whatever changes you are making will have a learning curve at some point. Practice will help you make progress. Try again. Try something new. Ask for help. Learn. Grow. Give yourself grace and keep going.
