Self-Forgiveness

You owe it to yourself to exercise whenever possible your inalienable right of self-forgiveness. Those who are their own harshest critic will know all too well how easy it is to lambast one's self, and how much of a ridiculous struggle cutting one's self some slack can be. But it cannot be that all the amassing weight of guilt, anxiety and shame of your world is meant to be placed interminably on your shoulders. At some point, the sentence will have been served; your time, done. However difficult it may be to forgive yourself, you will know by the kindness bestowed upon you by your very own heart that there is a moment when you must shuffle off those weights. Always remember that self-forgiveness is your sacred right; self-forgiveness is yours to own and to find reprieve within.
