Forgive Yourself

Let's face it. Sometimes you misbehave. Sometimes you hurt others. You are not always taking good care of yourself. You are not always in a peaceful spot. It doesn't matter. This, too, you can notice, accept, and change. Make amends when necessary. Atone. Apologize, and forgive yourself. It's safe to make a mistake and safe to own up to it. You are always learning. You are not perfect and you are perfect. Both things are true. There is so much room in your psychic world that you are all things at once. Just relax into the part of you who is humanly humane. Remind yourself of your good qualities, and focus on the good qualities in others. Blame, self-doubt, hatred -- all come from fear. Don't let fear rule your actions. Love makes things easier. Acceptance is calming and healthy.
