Forgiveness for Not Knowing

No one is harder on me than I am. I hold myself to a high standard, I always have.

Some of my standards have been unrealistic.

I have made a lot of mistakes up until this point. It is inevitable not to make any. But I forgive myself.

I was not able to find peace in my mind and in my spirit until I did.

I used to beat myself up mentally, emotionally and physically for the confusion, anxiety, and depression I was experiencing.

I used to think that if I could not figure myself out of my problems then I deserved to be punished.

I struggled with letting matters go. I struggled with my self-confidence and faith in the future.

It was not until recently that I learned that you are not able to learn from the WINS as much as you are able to learn from the LOSSES.

I learned that gratitude and perspective were the remedy to the hell I was experiencing.

I began to thank the earth and the creator for allowing breathe to leave my body. I was grateful for being able to live through what I went through. I started to see everything as a necessary part of my self-actualization.

I learned to move on easier and with peace. I learned to forgive others by forgiving myself. I learned that if it did not kill me then it literally only made me more clear on who I was.

I love myself despite the mistakes. I forgive myself for being human and trying again each day to be a better version of myself.

Forgive yourself today because it is over and done with. Still, you are here. Be grateful for that. Acknowledge that.
