Before you take even one more step forward, Dear One, forgive yourself; for whatever it is that you did yesterday that you regret, that you wish you had not done, that you wish you had done better, that you wish you could take back, change, erase or undo.

Forgive yourself – no questions asked, without judgment, without condition, without threat of punishment or fear of condemnation.

Just forgive yourself.

Give yourself this gift today.

You deserve it.

And those around you deserve it too.

All of your thoughts, words, actions, and connections will be all the more powerful, genuine, authentic and meaningful, Dear One, when you are fully present in the here and now, when you are no longer holding yourself hostage in your past.
