Moving Beyond Our Past by Learning to Love and Forgive Ourselves

I want to discuss the importance of loving and forgiving ourselves throughout every season of our lives, even during moments when we may not be proud of our actions. It's vital to learn how to accept and forgive ourselves during our darkest moments, so that we can use our experiences to learn and grow, rather than letting them hinder us.

We are the authors of our own stories and must acknowledge our past versions as a part of our journey, but not the entirety of it. We must remind ourselves that our past experiences have shaped who we are, but they do not define us.

Our lives are our stories, and we are the ones in control! Despite feeling negatively about past actions, we need to love ourselves in every season, move beyond our past, and not allow it to hold us back.
