Forgive Yourself (KB)

One of the most important things that we can want in life is the ability to forgive ourselves: the ability to go deep inside and wash away the residue of all those things that we have done and to find that space where we can say that we are good enough, that we are fine enough, that we can succeed in whatever we do. But the only way we bring ourselves to such a place of inner peace and understanding is to have certainty that regardless of what we might think and regardless of our situation in life, we are exactly where we need to be at every moment in time. Indeed, everything we experience is either to usher our soul forward on its path, or to allow us to learn something from whatever it is that we are going through. If we can really have this consciousness, then nothing in life is really that difficult to deal with. The darkest things that happen to us, the most difficult challenges before us, are there to bring us to the understanding where we say, “What is my next lesson? Where am I supposed to go from here?” If we can reach this level of awareness, then we can learn to forgive ourselves. And as we learn to forgive ourselves, we can be more forgiving of those around us.
