You will never feel good enough if you keep dwelling on your mistakes. Whatever you did, there is nothing wrong with it. Mistakes happen, they don't define you. Remember this.
None a mistake is not a reflection of your worth. You are still beautiful, worthy, valuable, even if you don't get the grade you want, the job you want. Or, if you hurt someone unintentionally by words or actions. You are allowed to feel, to feel, to be wrong. You can be upset about your mistakes, but you can't be mad at yourself for the rest of your life.
You will never feel good enough if you keep comparing yourself to the people around you. Stop telling yourself the lie that everyone else is smarter or prettier or better than you.
You never see the effort that the person you envy has put into their success.
You only see the success and not their struggle. See posted photos online, achievements and champagne. Just because everything is perfect there doesn't mean their life is perfect. Don't be fooled by the glitter. People hide the effort, falls, failures along the way and show others only apparent perfection.
You will never feel good enough if you continue to believe that life must follow a certain pattern. You don't have to get married by a certain age. Follow yourself and your heart and not the expectations of other people, even if they only wish you well. It's not you. Don't get trapped in a cage of patterns.

It's not too late to reach for your dreams. It's not too late to find love. It is not too late to achieve any of the goals you desire. Your heart is still full of energy, hope, happiness, regardless of the setbacks that will come your way.
Don't make excuses, if you want something, go after it.
Don't tell yourself it's not the right time, because then it never will be. Instead of dwelling on past regrets, do something about them. You still live. Make a new movie. Write a new chapter in your book of life. It's not over yet.
Don't give up the illusion of perfection. You will never be perfect. You will always have flaws to fix, wounds to heal, insecurities to overcome.
You will never be 100% happy with yourself – and that's okay.
Always strive for more. Never settle for less than you deserve. Every day you can strive to become a better person than you were yesterday.
Be proud of yourself! You deserve to be the best version of yourself, and with every experience you get closer to that.
