Sheryl Sandberg Quote

Self-compassion often coexists with remorse. It does not mean shirking responsibility for our past. It’s about making sure that we don’t beat ourselves up so badly that we damage our future. It helps us realize that doing a bad thing does not necessarily make us a bad person. Instead of thinking if only I weren’t, we can think if only I hadn’t. This is why confession in the Catholic religion begins with Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned, not Forgive me, Father, for I am a sinner.
