We have all made mistakes in the past and we will make mistakes in the future...
But some times it it's hard to let go..
Of the mistakes you have made..
.. I have made a few more than a few..
From career decisions..
To relationship decisions..
Mistakes I have made raising my children..
And some Life Choices..
But it is time I forgive myself..
And let go of all my mistakes..
I am not perfect.. I like to think I am sometimes.. but I have to realize I am not..
So I'm giving myself permission to forgive myself... I will own the mistakes I made.. but I will no longer dwell on them... going forward .. the mistakes I have made that I can fix I will fix... and the ones I cannot fix I will let go of... I will no longer live in the past.. only in the Here and Now...
. This is my promise to myself...Lee.p..

If you are having a hard time letting go of the past or your mistakes...
Purge yourself here... set yourself free..

I have already went thru a severe purge of regrets.
I am who I am today because of the mistakes I have made as well as the right decisions.
All in all, I like me.

While in hindsight I might have made a few less mistakes, it was my mistakes that made me learn what I needed to know to be right here, right now.

I can't change the past. I can't undo anything I did or said.
I can try to cover it up by making ammends but the deed is done and the words are said.

Its better for me to try to live in such a manner that requires no undone deeds or unsaid words. I'm in control of my life, I'll make mistakes in the future, I know.
Its what I do in the present that really matters.
I'm very careful about what I say now but I could still use some work on what I do. But hey, 57 years and I am fully aware I am still a work in progress.

Of course, we all make mistakes. And some of us even learn from them. But in most cases, there is circumstances, which can be out of our control.

glad to her it No1phD.

I don't know about you, but it took me about 10 weeks to grow tired of beating myself up. the past is out of our control now so letting go is the only thing to do.

I've made mistakes, I've made blunders.
I've done things I aren't proud off, (in fact some of the things I am proud of are questionable, to be honest)
Separation/divorce forces you to face yourself, more self analysis goes on in a few months than the previous 10 years.
Growth.....

10 weeks?

took me 10 years!
