A lot of people seem to forget that the most important person you can build a relationship with is yourself. Without a solid connection to yourself, a lot of your exterior relationships will suffer.
Lately I’ve been working on honoring the things that make me feel good and shunning the things that don’t make me feel good.
Recently though, I did something that didn’t align with my standards and instead of beating myself up about it, I forgave myself instead.
Shocking, right? You might be wondering what I did but that’s not important. A lot of what kept me in a rut so many months ago was ruminating on the past. I just couldn’t let things go. I spent time and time again playing scenarios back in my head wishing I would have did things differently but…
It was too late. That past happened and I had to come to reconciliation with that. They say time heals all wounds well after years of fighting with my very being I just got tired of fighting.
When you really accept yourself even for all your supposed flaws and shortcomings, you build such a strong tether to yourself that almost nothing can shake you.
If a friend came to you after fucking up and instead of telling him everything was going to be okay you berate him — what kind of friend would you be?
That’s what you do when you slip up and get angry at yourself. You’re not being a very good friend.
Everyone in the world could forgive you but until you forgive yourself are you truly forgiven?
Guys, we have to start building that relationship, understand that we are human and that nobody is perfect. Such a cliché but it couldn’t ring more true in today’s society.
When you do, watch everything change.
