Self forgiveness and change

We can change if we wish

But sometimes we must forgive,

Ourselves for our past trespasses

And any wrong we may have done,

We all have erred at some point

And left the honourable path,

But there is no worth in beating on yourself

For those flaws you showed in the past,

As long as you accept your part

And accept that you went wrong,

As long as you learnt and changed

Then it’s ok then to move on,

And forgive yourself and lead a good, kind and compassionate life,

With the goal of learning to love

And a quest to live life right.

Part of forgiving is the realization that one cannot change the past. A Nelson Mandela quote I approximated here. But it does help to move on if we understand, process and incorporate that wisdom.
