Discovery

I discovered through a chance meeting that I have come quite a long way toward forgiving someone. That made me glad!



I edited this goal

I’ve decided to change this goal from “let go of the past” to “make peace with my past and embrace my future.” I think that sounds more reasonable.

I don’t think it is possible to let go of the past. It has happened. It has helped shape who I am. I need to make peace with, or accept, what was, and then decide what I want to become in the future, and which direction I want to head. Of course, my plans might not happen. As the Bible says, “A man’s heart deviseth his way: but the LORD directeth his steps.”



How Do I Work On This One?

How do I attempt this one? I have been going to counseling. I have been praying. I have been journaling. I have been making decisions for a new start in my life, but exactly how do I know when I can check this off my list? Won’t there always be a part of me that has been changed by the past? I can’t erase it. I don’t want to just have a goal on my list that I can’t eventually check off my list. I have to think about how to make this more concrete.



Goodbye

I made a step in letting go of the past by saying goodbye to a relationship that was over, anyway. I met with the person and said a clear cut goodbye, rather than just letting the relationship hang out there, indefinitely, leaving me in limbo. It was rewarding, because I was able to say goodbye with love and goodwill between us, unlike some other relationships in which I have said goodbye.
