Free Yourself

In life, we are bound to make questionable decisions in which some may work out and others may not. One of the hardest pills I have had to swallow was the fact that I made, and will continue to make mistakes. When I think back to my “greatest” moments maturity escapes me and I wish I could hide. However I work on this revelation daily, in this, one of the most powerful quotes that I have read in my being is, forgive yourself for how you chose to survive. Often we worry about and vex ourselves wondering how we will forgive those who have wronged us and while all of that is valid, I believe one of the hardest things we can do as people is actually to forgive ourselves because we believe our mistakes are irreparable or the atonement required does not equate to the level of guilt we feel. What I want us to understand is that unforgiveness keeps us stationary, and in life, we do either one of two things, we either move forward or we stagnate and stagnation is comparable to death. It’s ok to look back and sure not be impressed but acknowledge that that experience was a teacher and you learnt and now know better as a result. If you want to move forward and release the next chapter? Learn to forgive yourself and learn that at that moment, you did the best that you could with what you had and this is not to excuse anything but I say it because in most cases it’s true. Learn to forgive yourself and release your tomorrow; you deserve it just as much.
