You know, we have opportunities to forgive ourselves every day. If you are like me, you strive for perfection all the time, even though it isn't required or even needed. We're human beings and we make mistakes. God, for so long I would never try ANYTHING new because I didn't want to be seen as a failure...
But how can we grow, how can we become the people we want to be without trying (and sometimes failing). Yes, sometimes those failures can be pretty big, but if we can learn from them, learn to forgive ourselves for not being perfect then we begin to accept ourselves for who we are.
So, try forgiving yourself for something today, big or small. I can honestly say that with the help of another MWO'er I did do that today, and I truly feel peaceful and calm because of it.
