Forgiveness underrated.
Failure is an epidemic. Do you know why?
It’s not because people are inadequate. It’s because they think they are.
We have some impossible standards that we measure ourselves against. And this has us beating ourselves up, blaming ourselves, and noticing our deficits any chance we get.
I myself felt like a total failure this week. (And I thought my standards were low. But they are insidious, aren’t they? And they are worse when we don’t see them clearly.)
I’m going to practice what I teach this week. And you can all be my witnesses.
“I forgive myself for not being a better writer.” There I said it.
And “I totally and completely forgive myself for being vulnerable this week.”
Whew! There. Now I have to do the practice.
This is a great time of the year to focus on forgiveness. Spring is a time of renewal and rebirth.
It marks the end of winter which was a time where we went inside and healed our past inner self so we can rebirth into the person we want to be.
From my experience, we try so hard to get ourselves better, but we forget the way to healing is compassion and forgiveness. So we stay blocked from peace.
There are two reasons why self-forgiveness is last on our task list:
1. We think we deserve our self-blame.
2. We don’t know how to let go of it.
That’s a whole bunch of ego driving us to continue suffering! It’s time to let go!

Jabz, Thanks so much for the comment. You made my day. YOU ARE why I do this. <3
Today I forgive myself for feeling weak and needy, for believing I have no control on my life, for being a passive victim of anxiety obeying it instead of saying I’m in charge now. I forgive myself for my flaws and for hating myself instead of feeling grateful that people can love me despite my flaws.
