It is important to understand that when others tell your story, from whatever perspective they hold, they may only highlight your falls. Don't lose any peace about it. You shine light on each and every ascent with your presence, resilience, determination, humility, growth, and character. Disparagement often contextualizes triumphs. When your past is made public and mistakes brought to everyone's attention, your progress is also on full display. When the depth of your fall is apparent the height of your victory can be fully appreciated.
P.S.
Those who look to God will shine; their faces are never ashamed. Chin up! Shine on. You are so much more than shortcomings. 🖤
