FORGIVINESS
Hello Queens!
Forgiveness is easier said than done. I could forgive others but couldn't forgive myself for the mistakes I've made. Mistakes are meant to teach valuable lessons, not keep you from living. How could I evolve into the woman I need to be for others and myself, if I hold on to the past?
My therapist asked me why do I blame myself for past situations and take the blame off the other party involve? At the moment, I didn't have an answer. The reason I had trouble forgiving myself was that I held myself to a standard that was unimaginable to reach. I am not a robot, I'm a human being, and I make mistakes just like everyone else. Once I accepted the fact that you can't be great at everything, I was then able to forgive myself and leave the past behind.
It took me 27 years to see that the mistake I made shaped me into the woman I am today. It gave me the strength to get through anything that comes my way.
