I realized recently that, while one thing that has greatly contributed to my downfall along the years was shame, the one thing that has really contributed to my uprising in the last years, was forgiveness.
I think the fact that I was able to let go of the anger or hard feelings not only towards anyone else, but most of all towards myself, and that I subsequently forgave anyone of their lacks as well as myself and my own lacks and failures, really lead me to accept that all these failures and lacks are part of me, as others have theirs, and that this is the way things are and will be, and it seriously brought me to a very peaceful state of mind.
(Of course I have ups and downs, but I'm talking overall).
I guess what I'm trying to say is that we can't be perfect and it's time to forgive ourselves for being imperfect and for failing a lot of times before succeeding, or for not succeeding at all. And also that being angry or resentful towards others will only backfire while being harmless to them.
Soooo... I just wanted to share this with you and see if anyone feels the same
Take note that it is a lot easier to forgive when you stay away from those who are victimizing you.
