Love yourself when you make a mistake
When we make a mistake, we might be harsh with others. But the person we are often harshest with isn't anyone around us. It's ourselves. Sure, you made a mistake. Yes, it was terrible.

Do you know how valuable your time is?
No matter how much you can charge per hour, $1000 or $10, your time is precious. It’s the one resource you will pine for most at the end of your life.
