Lesson #28

Forgive everyone everything

Another tough one. Everyone has niggly things they remember about people from when they were hurt or let down and it’s very difficult to just take a deep breath and say ‘It’s okay, I forgive you’ and forget it.

But it feels good when you do it so maybe we should do it more often.

Forgive yourself too. It’s okay to get things wrong sometimes. I need to remember this one myself, I’m not very good at self-forgiveness.

Lessons In Life #3

Lesson 3

Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.

This is hard. But I try my best with it because I only recently realised how much energy hate requires and to be honest, if someone is terrible enough to cause hate then they are almost certainly not worth all the energy you will waste hating them. Forget them, forgive them, make your own peace with what they did. Whatever, however. Just don’t hate them – they’re not even worth that honour. You are better than that.
