“I have learned, that the person I have to ask for forgiveness from the most is: myself. You must love yourself. You have to forgive yourself, everyday, whenever you remember a shortcoming, a flaw, you have to tell yourself “That’s just fine”. You have to forgive yourself so much, until you don’t even see those things anymore. Because that’s what love is like.” ~ C. JoyBell C.

You cannot love others and you cannot forgive others, if you cannot love and forgive yourself!!! Look at the fork in the road of life, more times than not when you are young, you go left. During your time on the left side of the road you realize that you belong on the other side of the road. It does not matter when you get to that realization!!! So you pick up your baggage, turn around, head back down to the peak of the fork and you drop your baggage along the way. It is a rocky road passing all the people, pain and destruction that manifested along that wrong side of the road– it will not be easy. However, every step that you take brings you closer to where you need to be– so let it go!!! Forgive yourself for the mistakes that you have made, ask for forgiveness of others as you walk down that road, and trust that you are now in a better place.

Question of the day:
Are you second guessing yourself and are afraid to take risks because you are holding on to the person you were that did not make the best decisions in the past?

— you are wiser
— you are stronger
— you are understanding
— you are forgiving
— YOU ARE ARMED WITH THE TOOLS OF LIFE AND KNOWLEDGE

You are now in a place where you are in total control of YOU. Release yourself from from the bondage of your past so that you can love and be loved. Most importantly so that you can make decisions for your life that bring you joy, fulfillment and success because you are worthy.

Feel free to share and as always, the choice is yours.
