Beating yourself up over every perceived mistake is the work of an internal abuser who must be restrained and reformed.
If you look at today through the eyes of the past, you can never see what the present moment has to offer.
Reliving your painful past will poison your heart and your tomorrow.
You have to make the decision to let go of the past if you want to move forward.
Your suffering is there to inspect you and perfect you. We are made complete by our pain.
Start thinking of your guilt as being selfish, because guilt blocks opportunities from arriving for you, and for those you care about.
Someone's forgiveness will not heal you; condemnation or absolution is their test, not yours.
Guilt can interfere with our desires to move forward, to heal properly and to become a person who has the mental health and means of proper recompense.
When we harm others we harm ourselves; when we help others we help ourselves.
Sometimes we resist letting go because we just can't see a way to move forward — believing things can never change for someone as unworthy as us.
