Embracing Setbacks and Moving Forward

Lately, I’ve been feeling a bit off, not quite myself, especially when it comes to work. My partner and I recently lost our jobs, and though I’m still employed, one of my major projects was lost. It's been a tough time.

Just today, I discovered that I made a mistake on a post-production project I’ve been working on for a while. There was an issue with the video format that I thought was part of the process, but I had forgotten the correct way to do it. What made it worse was that the outputs were all approved, so I assumed everything was fine. This mistake goes all the way back to June. It wasn’t the reviewer’s fault either - I should’ve double-checked my previous work for reference.

I’m disappointed in myself for missing this and adding unnecessary pressure to an already packed schedule. On top of that, I offered to correct everything from June to September at no extra cost because, frankly, I wouldn’t feel right charging for work that should’ve been done correctly the first time.

Despite these setbacks, I refuse to let this define the outcome. Yes, it will be tedious and exhausting, but I will correct my mistakes and get back on track. I believe in myself and won’t let this situation tarnish the reputation I’ve built.

I’m incredibly grateful that the people I work with have been so understanding and patient. It’s not a pass to let things slide, but their kindness motivates me even more to ensure they get the quality they deserve.

We all face low points, especially at work. What matters is how we handle them. It’s important to take the time to understand what went wrong, take responsibility, and work to make it right. Mistakes happen, but what defines us is how we respond. Keep believing in yourself, hold onto your self-trust, and never let these bumps shake your confidence.
