To forgive one's self is....


a damn challenge!


How hard are you on yourself when you make a mistake?

Does it depend on the mistake, the victim of your mistake?

Do you cover up your mistake and forget it?

What do you do when you really fuck something up?

:D
 
You know that old carpet in the corner? I try to sweep it all under there. Sometimes it doesnt quite work
 
I learn from it say fuck it and move on life is to short to worry about stuff to much ..
 
I tend to beat myself up about it but I have slowly been trying to change that. It is still a challenge though. A lot of the time the people I hurt forgive me but it is a long, long time till I forgive myself.
 
re:to forgive yourself

do your best have fun and remember

I've learned to let go of my mistakes. I own up to them, I don't cover them up, but I do put them behind me.

If an apology is in order, I don't hesitate to offer one, then..I move on.

Ofcourse the degree to which I feel bad about the mistake depends on the victim. If it's a loved one, it is harder to move on, but then again, if the love is there, they understand, as I do for them.
 
I have made alot of mistakes...

in my life and I hope I have learned from them....

My stepfather, who I loved and respected very much, told me once......If you make a mistake and learn from it, it was not a mistake but a learning process, but if you do it again then it is a mistake and own up to it...

I tend to beat myself up and I seek advice from those I respect and love... I don't go out to hurt anyone *ever* but sometimes I can be a smartass and I do...I know hard to believe but true ....I say I am sorry for my actions and I am not to proud to admit to them...:)
 
I can beat myself up with the best of them!

I am quick to admit I am stupid, naive or insensitive and quick to apologize, sincerely.

Then, there are still little things I did so many years ago that I still feel bad about!


Learning to let go of guilt has been difficult, but I am trying!

Well to me that is a guys answer...I find women are a bit more abusive to themselves...guys tend to roll it off their shoulders...
 
Healing happens when we forgive...............When we learn to forgive ourselves as well as our friends, relatives, and acquaintances, we are half way to paradise...............Love springs eternal from there..............

No regrets, no resentment.............unconditional love..........that is my goal for love given freely comes back ten fold.

I worked for a long time with a woman who was hateful and got pleasure out of hurting anyone and everyone she could. I let her hurts fall off my back and I prayed for her every day. I left there, knowing that I would be taken care of.................I was rewarded with the most wonderful new job and positive people to work with...............I am blessed.

Me, I just chalk things up as a learning experience. AND SAY WHAT THE FUCK! Move on.....

There is a risk at every corner. Most risks are worth taking if the outcome is in your favor! It's very hard to except a make fuck up if that's what is done.

Personally, a mistake by me, depending on the mistake and what the consequences(??) are, I am very hard on myself if it's something really big. For something that is small and easily corrected, I let it slide.

Everyone is different. And everyone will approach a situation or problem in different ways and on different levels. Don't be tooo hard on yourself. You are human! You are allowed mistakes. Or at least should be.
~big hugs~
 
Well, I am often Misstaken errrr mistaken!


:D



There is so much about being human that is beautiful. Random thinking pre coffee, being one of them!

However, I suppose without mistakes and errors, we may not always have the opportunity to seal a friendship or relationship.

Sometimes, having to say I am sorry to someone, actually brings you closer. Sometimes, the making up is worth the guilt.

Now, getting my coffee. :D
 
well it would surely depend on the degree of the screw up as to how long before you can completely if ever let it go....but if I've done someone or something wrong I'm gonna own up to it & try to rectify it & move on & move forward....can't turn back the clock though I'm sure we all would liked to have at one time or another ;)

well I have made lots of mistakes and made bad judgment calls in my time...and I usually beat myself up pretty good for doing so.. I am harder on myself than anyone else is.. but I just try to learn from the mistakes and try not to get in that situation again!
