Forgive yourself

Forgiving yourself is just as important.

We all mess up, we all say things in the moment that we wish we could take back.
We all know when we should have handled things differently...forgive yourself, learn from it and move on.

Forgiving your self is just as important as forgiving others.
Say you are sorry and ask for forgiveness.

Here's the tough one....even when you may still think you are right.

Why ask for forgiveness when you may think you we're right?
Because then you start to talk , and maybe then you may start to see that you came at it wrong. That maybe it was the way YOU started the conversation to begin with that built the wall or added to the situation. Either way you will never start to understand unless you diffuse the situation.

You see how you approach the other person and what you say can immediately start the wall to be built. In that case I say you lose the validity of your case. 
You may be right but you were wrong in how you handled it.

That is ok...we all do it.
Just own up to it.
Ask for forgiveness sooner rather than later and you may be surprised.
That weight just may be lifted off your shoulders.

And trust me it WILL weigh you down.

Forgive them and forgive yourself.....move on, learn, grow...life is too short.
