Sometimes We Have to Forgive Ourselves


Sometimes We Have to Forgive Ourselves


Oh, my goodness.  What an important idea.  This idea is bigger than me, yet I’m gonna chew on it for a while.

It is a critical piece of psychology.  It is, perhaps, the centerpiece that every person needs to come to grips with in their life.

What are your secret thoughts?
What do you tell yourself about YOU when you are all alone?

Oprah, on her last TV show, said some important stuff.

“Don’t wait for 
someone else to 
complete you.”

You don’t NEED anyone else to make your life complete.  You have all the stuff inside you to go and do what you want to do.  You just have to believe that.

And the big quote from Oprah: 

"I've talked to nearly 30,000
people on this show, and all
30,000 had one thing in common. 
They all wanted validation. 
I would tell you that
every single person 
you will ever meet 
shares that common desire."


Validation!

If, perhaps, you are one to whom I write today, and you need to forgive yourself, and you need validation, consider this.

Seek help.  Trained professionals abound.  Find a great one, dare to do the hard work, and seek help.

Rarely can we traverse these treacherous waters alone.  A wise therapist can help you find forgiveness within. 

And a therapist can help you find validation. 

Best of success as you pursue your own measure of self-forgiveness.

You deserve it, you know.


This is my
morning reflection.
