Don't beat yourself up. Like the rest of us, you are a flawed person. There are no perfect people.

Recently I have made some bad choices that have turned out to be financially costly. It has affected my whole family. This didn't happen because I am a bad person, but because I am a depressed person, and became blind to a situation I was creating. I am my own worst critic, also.

Although my business failed due to this, I always have to remember that failure is not a person, but an event.
