Forgive and forget. HA! Like we do that as a city, state, region, country, world, or culture. To one would be pretty incredible, to do both would be considered short of a miracle!
When was the last time you forgave someone or allowed yourself to forget any wrong, mistakes, bad times, or trespasses they had with you? Do you remember how you felt? The power, liberation, lifting of weight, goodness, and peace that many feel from that moment is just incredible.
Now let's focus a bit more. Let's talk about YOU! The mistakes you have made. The things you have said, that you wished you hadn't. All those promises to yourself to do this or that, or get this done. And those new years resolutions... HA! Right. As if you had any intention of following through on those. One broken promise or commitment after another.
Thinking of how we felt when we forgave-forgot verses how we feel about ourselves, two different feelings (for some.) How do you feel, right now, comparing the two?
Can you imagine how much better you would feel if you simply forgave yourself? That's right, YOU forgive YOU! Close your eyes and go back to a time when you forgave someone. That feeling of warmth, freedom, liberation, safety, closeness, wholeness... a warm blanket on a cold day.
Let's get "real" for a moment. You are a human being. With all of your mistakes, achievements, life experiences you...are you. And mistakes, disappointments and "life" are all part of our journey.
We don't know what the person next to us has went through, is going through, or is about to go through, nor do they know us. How we interact, respond to and behave is sometimes in character, out of character and sometimes somewhere in between.
You are beautiful
You are loved
You are worthy
You are not alone
Give yourself a hug. Forgive yourself. Be free of self condemnation.
