Today is National Forgiveness Day. Typically, we see forgiveness as something that applies to only someone else; someone who has wronged or hurt us in some way. But when you really think about it, you’ll probably agree the person who has hurt you the most is yourself. Forgiving others is vital to a balanced and happy life. So is asking for forgiveness when you realize you’ve wronged someone else. But I think it’s just as important to let go of feelings of resentment and regret over things you’ve done that you shouldn’t have (or didn’t do that you should have) that hurt yourself. Today’s a good day to look at the mess you’ve made and remind yourself that you’ve grown since you made it – whether it was a decade ago, a year ago or yesterday. Do your best to clean up the mess, and move on.
