forgive myself for my mistakes

I want to be HAPPY again and be proud of everything I’ve accomplished instead of obsessing about the past and hating myself for the mistakes I’ve made. Some mistakes are irreversible and unforgivable…but in order to let go, forgiving myself for being Human is a necessary requirement.

...why does it take loss and pain to evolve? Why can’t we learn WITHOUT having to go through so much suffering?...

“Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could; some blunders and absurdities have crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; you shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.” Emerson

It is easier for me to forgive others, but I have not yet mastered the art of forgiving myself. This will be a hard goal to complete. I expect a lot from myself at all times, but no one is perfect. I am learning from these so called “mistakes” and taking it one day at a time.

I always beat myself up for stupid little mistakes. I need to learn to take it easy on myself. I am trying to forgive myself, and choose to look at it as a learning experience.

Hey you,

I’m starting to feel better.

Thanks.

...for the things I have done to drive this humongous wedge between us, but I am learning the hard way that the only way I can earn her forgiveness is to learn to forgive myself first.

The root of the majority of our problems all along has been my own insecurities – the off-shoots of that mess climb like vines through our lives and bear fruit that makes us ill.

I make a little mistake and it is magnified by my self-loathing over the matter into a huge inferno. I must learn to accept that I will make mistakes and to forgive myself instead of commencing to start the mental flogging every time.

Easier said than done, but I must.

I forgive myself for making bad choices in my first marriage.

I feel guilty all the time.

How much longer am I going to hate myself for my mistakes?

How much longer before something good will happen to me?

That would be me.

For not being perfect.
For not always knowing what to say.
For making mistakes.
For hurting other people
And for hurting myself.
