My Mistakes

I find comfort in knowing that, in the past,

I did what I thought was right at the time.

What makes my mistakes seem so bad

is that I judge them by what I know today.

I know more than I did then,

and less than I will tomorrow.
I trust that, in the future,

I will not make the same mistakes.

I have more information now, and

I will be able to handle things differently

and make wiser choices.

I accept myself for who I was then

and for who I am today.
