Proud To Learn

Dear Collective Community,

This week’s intention is: "I am not proud of my mistakes, I am proud to have learned from my mistakes."

Mistakes happen. We fall short. We misstep. We fail. But failure isn’t the end—it’s the beginning of learning something new. Growth doesn’t come from perfection; it comes from the lessons we take forward.

The Mistakes of Glory 5K was exactly that for me. I had to relearn how to run, how to pace myself, and, most importantly, how to accept where I am right now. It was hard. I hated it. But I’m glad I tested myself. I started over, and that alone is a victory.

Maybe your challenge isn’t running. Maybe it’s showing up consistently, lifting heavier, or even giving yourself grace when things don’t go as planned. Whatever it is, don’t focus on the mistake—focus on what it teaches you.

Take this week to reflect: What have you learned from past mistakes? How have those lessons made you stronger? The work isn’t in being perfect. It’s in trying, failing, and rising again—wiser, tougher, and better than before.

Keep moving forward. Keep learning.

With strength & resilience,
Charlie
