Read a beautiful thought today:
"You need to forgive yourself. How long must you carry the burdens of your mistakes? You are not meant to live every moment with regret. Learn from your past, and carry on with your head held high."
Courtesy - Message from God Application on fb.
Such a simple statement but we rarely think on these lines. We always talk about forgiving others. On the lines that - Forgive them it makes life happier and easier. But how many times do we even think about forgiving ourselves for our so called mistakes, our misdemeanours, our attitude, our behaviour...maybe never. Somewhere deep inside we carry this feeling that we deserve bad luck because of something wrong that we have done. We forget to forgive ourselves. We remember every wrong action and carry it within us for a long time, it is very hard to let go.
I too have been holding onto a lot of mistakes that I have committed. Therefore, I have decided to follow the 3 step approach:
1. Accept my mistakes
2. Accept that I am human and would make more mistakes
3. Forgive myself
Dear God - what a medium to send your message - but I got it.
Hope that you all understand the message too. Coz even writing that I am going to forgive myself is making me feel lighter.
Stop holding onto the past, forgive yourselves and let go. Only then would there be space for making more mistakes and living life fully, without regret. Do not hold onto the mistakes , hold onto the learning from it. Life is too interesting to make the same mistake again, commit a new one each time and learn a new lesson.
To err is human and to forgive is divine. Get in touch with the divinity inside you for your own self.

The beauty of being a human is to be able to make mistakes and then rise above them. What we just need to be cognizant about is the fact that we should never ever make the same mistake again....
That's what I meant....move on to make new mistakes. And not to forget that making mistakes is just a part of life not the whole life.
