It has been said over and over again that in order to grow you must step outside the imaginary boundaries of your comfort zone. This increases anxiety but with positive self-talk you can overcome and face all your challenges head thus moving forward.
One of the most important ways to take this giant step is to learn to forgive. Forgiving others who have wronged you takes patience and perseverance. Find out the root of the wrong and understand that that person only acted towards the situation the best she/he could given the tools she/he was taught during their lifetime. Once you have embraced the forgiveness and find closure you will be able to release the pain and step forward in your life's path.
Next it is just as important for you to learn to forgive yourself for what ever choices you decided to make and the mistakes they might have lead to. You too only made the choices you have made based on the tools you had to use to make those tools. Each mistake is no a failure but a learning situation. So grab all the vital positive teachings that this challenge has opened up to you. Then forgive yourself and put the mistake where it belongs - in the past. Put your mistake in a small black box. Attach a beautiful helium balloon in a color that you adore. Set your mistakes adrift off into the horizon and watch the box float over the horizon and out of your life. Wash your hands of these negative and toxic choices they now are out of your life. Move forward and search for your dreams and desires guilt free and absolved of all you have been chastising yourself for. You have now released the strings of guilt that strangle your heart.
This is not easy and it takes time and practice but start slowly with one action or person at a time and then move on to others when you are comfortable to do so.
Enjoy the process - forgiveness then leads to gratitude but that is a whole other blog. So get comfortable forgiving you will love how you feel each time you accomplish this feat.
Forgiveness is the fragrance that the violet sheds on the heel that has crushed it. -Mark Twain
