But How?

Nov 10, 2005 14:48

What do you regret in life? I mean we're so young, why would we honestly have something serious to regret? But yet, some of us do. Some of you, your regret may be small and insignificant to others, but to you, it is huge. Some of you, may have a regret that rocks your world and you can't shake it no matter how hard you try. Maybe your regret affects you deeply and even though everyone around, including God, has forgiven you, you can not forgive yourself.

This brings me to my burning question: "How DO you forgive yourself and move on?"

Being a critical person of Myself, I find this is the toughest thing that I struggle with. I have talked to many people about this; God, my mother, my friends, a counselor, yet, through all the talking and the learning and everything else, I still find it hard to forgive and move on. What exactly, prevents a person from just letting go and getting on with their life? Why can't we just forgive and forget when it comes to ourselves? When we know God has forgiven and we know those close to us have forgiven, why can't we follow suit?

Advice is welcome. Condescending thoughts and perceptions are not.
