A common phrase I say to others when mistakes are made and apologies are flying my way. I say it to myself when I make errors.
I think some of us forget as we tend to be perfectionists. We put so much pressure on ourselves to get everything right, say the right thing, and make the right choices. But there is no such thing as perfect.
We are supposed to learn and grow. Sometimes that means making mistakes, and trying again. Sometimes it means taking responsibility, apologizing for faults.
And when someone else stumbles, we can meet them with grace instead of making them feel worse about something they already regret.
We are human, and that is good enough.
