Courage and Acknowledge

We should take the courage to face what have went wrong
And at the same time acknowledge what went right

We should count the days we became the happiest
We should not count the times we made mistakes

Remember you can either count the times we made mistakes
Or count the times you could learn from them

Counting mistakes should equal learning from mistakes.

Tina, you flip mistakes into lessons, such a fresh vibe! Loved the way it encourages focusing on happy moments instead of dwelling on the wrongs. Felt super genuine and uplifting!
