“. . . there are a billion reasons why you should forgive, and not one reason to keep holding something against someone, not even one.” John Schreiber
And when I change it to. . . .
“there are a BILLION reason why I should forgive MYSELF. . .”
l have suffered all my life from a bad case of self judgement. When I think I am free, I have only to look at how critical I can be toward others.
I seek inspiration from Kwan Yin. . . goddess of unconditional love. Not only do I want to accept others with their quirks and aggravations, but the present state of the planet and all beings therein. . . .
MOSTLY, I want to learn how to embrace my own beautiful self
in order to experience forgiveness.
I love inspirational and thoughtful quotes, and we do sometimes need to make slight changes for our own prospective and personal use.
Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we treated ourselves as nicely as we treat others? A great reminder. You’re a gem.
I agree, Barb. Whether nun or not, we need to practice self love.
