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.
Learning your lesson from a mistake is healthy, but living forever in the emotions of your past mistakes is toxic and debilitating.
When we can't let go of the past, painful moments accumulate in us; metastasizing in our consciousness like an emotional cancer.
We have all suffered losses and pain, but no loss is greater than a life lost holding-on to a painful past.
We all make mistakes, but one of our biggest mistakes is continually revisiting the past.
Live in the present or die in your past; it's your choice.
Humility adds lessons to our pain and suffering, turning the seemingly senseless into meaning.
