The worst thing you can do is to trust others before trusting yourself. Not because you'll always be right, but rather because bearing the brunt if your own mistakes is easier than to learn from and move on from if you don't have someone else to blame
There is nothing more important than being humble in this game, humble to oneself, and humble before God. because if you are you'll always have an opportunity to learn and He will give you an opportunity to redeem yourself when you're stupid.
i almost returned to square one to be honest, but thankfully i had DRE and LOT stashed away which i picked almost 2 years ago now so its given me another chance. I am grateful for having been kicked down so hard after being so successful. I learnt that not only do I have the skills to make it all back again, but I also feel like a higher purpose has been given to me.
