“When you initially forgive, it is like letting go of a hot iron. There is initial pain and the scars will show, but you can start living again.”
― Stephen Richards, Releasing You From The Past: Healing Past Hurt Through Forgiveness
It’s easy to forgive others but hard to forget ourselves. We can show others our goodness, but deep within us, we know our cruelty. We keep on abusing, criticizing, and insulting the little us for the mistakes she has made in the past. We torture ourselves daily for the same mistakes. It has become a habit, but we don’t care about that. In some way, it gives us relief.
Understand this problem and work on the solution. Without accepting ourselves with all our strengths and weaknesses, we can’t progress in our life. Past is over. Good or bad, it can’t be changed. If you care about yourself, please focus your attention on the present. Learn from past mistakes and try not to repeat them anymore.
You’ve to forgive yourself for all the little and big mistakes of your past life. You’ve to start writing a new story. The old story can be used as an experience; apart from that, it has no value. No one cares who you were six months ago. People are interested in your present version of the truth. What story you wish to tell them is your choice. You can bore them with repetitive stories or create new ones to entertain them. The crowd is waiting for you. Are you ready to face the public with your creation?
