Mistakes are neither relapse nor destiny

There is not a thing such as purity which brings out validation or worth without ignorance. It is easy for a person to decide they want to change something about themselves. It can be seen as an addiction to drugs, porn, swearing, cheating, bad driving, drinking, or a myriad of options. The important part of growth is that small steps must happen before leaps are made and that faulting yourself so to create and sit in a feeling of guilt, despair, self-loathing is ALWAYS a step backwards. Do not blindly encourage and dismiss the issues of any kind of mistake or relapse but keep stronger and prime in  sights the idea, feeling, and path of doing well and doing great. To attack yourself for failing is adding insult to injury when what one needs to pull the ship out of the black hole is motivation and faith.
