Here's an unavoidable truth: You are going to screw up. Everyone — including very successful people — makes boatloads of mistakes. The key to success is, as everyone knows, to learn from those mistakes and keep moving forward. But not everyone knows how. Self-compassion is the how you've been looking for. So please, give yourself a break.
New studies " ... suggest that self-compassion, rather than self-esteem, may be the key to unlocking your true potential for greatness." http://blogs.hbr.org/cs/2012/09/to_s...lf-esteem.html

This article brings to mind a favorite quote: "Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm." -- Sir Winston Leonard Spencer Churchill
