 What would change if we measured ourselves not by our worst mistakes, but by how we rise after falling? This week's quote reminds us that our weakest moments, while part of our journey, need not define our destination thanks to those precious second chances that allow us to rewrite our stories. 

"I hope that either all of us or none of us are judged by the actions of our weakest moments… but rather by the strength we show when, and if we're ever given a second chance."
Ted Lasso
