Forgiveness

It is painful to look inside yourself and forgive yourself for all of your failures and the mistakes you believe you have made. For all those times that you blame others for your unhappiness and your lack of self-esteem,  for the times you did not respect yourself , for comparing yourself to others, for judging yourself harshly, for allowing others to disrespect you and abuse you. For all the times you did not believe in yourself. For all the times you let yourself down.  

To face your darkness takes an act of courage and truthfulness, an act of love towards yourself. Holding onto all the grievances you have about yourself keeps you prisoner to your unhappiness. It will distance you away from life itself.

Facing our darkness and forgiving ourselves for what we believe we did, is the key to our salvation, to our freedom.

Forgiveness allows us to see our humanness and our weakness and come to peace with who we are.

Forgiveness looks beyond our faults and sees our true nature and chooses to see our innocence, instead of our guilt.

Forgiveness stops our self-punishment. Forgiveness knows that if we knew better we would have chosen differently.

Forgiveness smiles at our mistakes because it knows that all is well, nothing real happen to threaten us from who we really are. Forgiveness turns our mistakes into lessons. Forgiveness knows that all our perceive mistakes were really only a call for love.

Forgiveness is an act of kindness and compassion toward our self. It sets you free from all the guilt and condemnation that we’ve places on ourselves, it allows love to heal you and restore your magnificent true Self, in all its Divinity. It allows Miracles to happen.

Let yourself of the hook and forgive your humanity. Fully accept your shadows for what they are, just shadows waiting for the light to shine and allow the fullest of who you really are to shine brightly.

Forgive yourself and now know you have a choice, to continue punishing yourself or you can choose to love yourself faults and all.

You and you alone have the power to stop the pattern of self-condemnation, it is simply a matter of choice. 

As always the love starts with you.
