I think the hardest part is of cour...Dearest Akin,<br /><br />I think the hardest part is of course forgiving ourselves. Most times in life we are tougher on ourselves than we are on others. It is hard to be friends with our own selves but we can easily become friends with other human beings.<br /><br />It is very difficult. I wish I could tell you that it is an easy thing to do but it is not. It perhaps will be one of the hardest things you have done in life. But...<br /><br />You need to do it.<br /><br />There is no other alternative. You might have to relive very painful moments and bad decisions made along the way...but...<br /><br />You have to do it.<br /><br />How? I am not sure how but I believe with all of my heart that this is the time to do it. Perhaps you can begin with thinking about something, just one thing that you would like to forgive yourself for? Just one thing, and it does not have to be the worst, it could be anything that you have beat yourself for over the years.<br /><br />I know you can do it. It is time to reconcile with yourself, who you are in life and accept yourself as you are.<br /><br />Many times in life we make decisions because we do not know better than what we are doing at that particular moment. We can live in regret or we can accept that we have made those choices and find a way to forgive ourselves for them.<br /><br />Life is too short to live in regret, there is no other alternative than to forgive ourselves for our past.<br /><br />Let the past be the past, Akin.<br /><br />I believe in you, I am proud of you and I know that just as you have empathy for others, you can reach deep down and findĀ empathy for yourself.<br /><br />Lots of love,<br />Slyslyofilinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3540911873094895295.post-15649734476706084402012-08-05T21:05:07.165+01:002012-08-05T21:05:07.165+01:00Uncle, may the Lord fill you with the strength and...Uncle, may the Lord fill you with the strength and faith you need through this period. Sorrow may last for a night, but joy comes in the morning. Hold on Sir, the dawn of a new day beckons. It is well with your soul.zebbookhttp://www.zebbook.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3540911873094895295.post-32853339551703330842012-08-05T17:50:48.382+01:002012-08-05T17:50:48.382+01:00Boda Akin, this is really deep o.
