The Silent Damage of Poor Choices
Self-respect and confidence are the foundation of a fulfilling life. When we make mistakes that compromise our integrity or undermine our abilities, we start losing faith in ourselves. Over time, these mistakes chip away at our confidence, making it harder to recover and move forward.
Are your actions strengthening your self-worth, or are they leading to self-doubt and regret?
