Considering taking a 401k loan to pay off high-interest credit cards

I'm struggling to pay off my credit cards with high interest rates and considering taking a 401k loan to cover the debt

What I wish I knew
"I should have prioritized paying off high-interest debt sooner"
If I could tell you one thing
"Create a budget and prioritize debt repayment, consider consolidating debt and cutting expenses"
