Forgiving others’ perceived wrongs is such a freeing thing to do, both for them and for us.
History shows that those that get the best results over time act as if other people are doing their best, even if they don’t seem to be doing as well as they could. There is a difference between learning to do better next time and raking over what’s done.
Even more liberating is to forgive ourselves…
We were doing our best back then; back when something happened we regret. It doesn’t serve other people, or even the “victims” of what we did wrong, to burden ourselves with the past.
So…
Take the learning and forgive yourself. Now’s the time. You have all the permission you need.
