Forgive yourself. That’s what I got from the advice I heard given to someone else. But it fits me just as well.
Even when you behave badly, make stupid decisions, or create chaos with ill-conceived ideas, forgive yourself. Take ample time to castigate yourself, first, but don’t go overboard. In the final analysis, you have to realize you’re imperfect; you will make remarkably mindless, idiotic decisions and absurd, stupid mistakes.
Correct them. Then forgive yourself for having made them.
And hope others can do the same.
