Oprah Winfrey: The Powerful Lesson Maya Angelou Taught Me

"When you know better, you do better."

Simple, right?  Those 7 words can be immensely powerful.

What they mean is that you can forgive yourself for your own mistakes, that you can forgive others for their mistakes, and that you can use the lessons of your life to create a better version of yourself that will do better for having made those mistakes.

Don't beat yourself up for things you could have done better, life is the ultimate learning experience. We will all make mistakes along the way, but we don't have to be shackled to them. Release your mistakes as an opportunity for growth. Because when you know better, you do better.
