Today’s Lesson

Was reading my For Today a daily book of meditation for compulsive overeaters. Today was about forgiveness. If I can forgive friends who make mistakes why do I think I have the right to hold myself to higher standards so that I dont deserve forgiveness?

hummmm did a lot of thinking on that one. I am my own worst enemy. If someone treated me like I treat myself I would kick their ass! Geez is it really that simple?? why of course!

so today, I forgive myself. whew

    That’s a great lesson and I agree with you 100%. Sometimes the last person forgiven is ourselves. Reminds me of Michael Jackson’s song “Man in the Mirror”.

    I know exactly what you mean! We are our own worst enemy. Why is it so hard to forgive ourselves?

    I’ve been there before, for some reason we are harder on ourselves than other people.

    Loved that blog. I might look into getting that book. It’s so true though, the only way we can move forward is to 1st forgive ourselves, then accept ourselves and then believe in ourselves.
