2022_365-365 (#4383) - Forgiveness
At the end of the year we tend to reflect on the last twelve months and we often judge ourselves harshly for things that have gone wrong.
Forgiveness of ourselves is often way down our list. Society pressurises us to be perfect. We want to live up to the expectations others place upon us and if we fail we feel negatively towards ourselves.
I know I've been far from perfect this year and I know that I "should have, could have, ought to have" done this or that but this year has been hard and I've been the best I can be. That is all I can do and for that I must accept who I am and what my limitations are.
Forgiving myself encourages positive attributes which if practised often enough makes me a kinder person. It helps me to help others and be more forgiving of others. So, at the end of this year I urge you to show yourself grace, patience be the best you can be.
Happy New Year to you all and thank you to those special people who have guided me through 2022.
