Did you forgive yourself for what you didn’t know before?
Don’t be cruel to yourself.
Maybe you didn’t realize it the last time you were cruel to yourself, maybe you would not realize it still. But it exists. There are times when you are the cruelest to you.
A crisis has a lot of ‘side-effects’ like cruelty — we all have to face a huge amount of suffering to grow — every situation is a potential personal coach, without any extra expenses. We must learn to use the lessons wisely instead of being cruel to yourself.
Don’t punish yourself or carry your mistakes on your shoulder. Instead, analyze them, place them under your feet, and use them as stepping stones. It has been a while that we are all together in suffering. Our past is explaining why we are suffering and invites us to reconsider it. Every suffering has an end. All that matters is what we have learned during those situations.
How wisely we have used the time. Jim Rohn says: “Suffer the pain of discipline, or suffer the pain of regret”. We cannot change what has happened and what has brought us to this point, but we can use this struggle for our future progress.
Again, it is a question of changing your mind to change your reality. See any challenging situation as a free coaching session. Life means lifelong development and learning — say “Yes” to life and grow instead of shrinking.
This is your life, this is the moment, to write and rewrite your history. Be grateful for any mistake and look at it as a stepping stone to your legacy.
If you feel you are doing good, then strive to make it better. And, if you feel otherwise, then start all over again. These times give you a chance to transform in both cases. Tough times don’t last, but tough people do.
Ask Yourself
- How do you respond to critical situations?
- What would you do to forgive yourself for your past mistakes?
