Forgive Yourself

No one is exempt from wrongdoing. You can beat yourself up for the mistakes you have made, or you can choose to learn from them, forgive yourself, and change bad behaviors or wrongdoings going forward.

It may be much harder to do the latter, but it speaks volumes about your character and the person you choose to be. You cannot go back and change the past, but you have control over what you choose to do going forward.

With this change we have the ability to free ourselves from guilt. Forgiving ourselves is important so we can be our best self. If you carry the guilt from the past with you, you will not be able to focus on bettering yourself. You will be miserable. Let that guilt, shame, and disappointment go. Learn to love yourself again.
