Forgive yourself

Courtney J. Burg, Writer + Mentor
December 1, 2020

A lot of you are replaying scenarios of what has happened lately at gatherings with friends + family. You have been doing the work + may feel that you have failed yourself or your children when put on the spot. I want to remind you that this work isn’t about passing or failing. It’s a practice. It’s a journey of valleys + peaks. ⁠
⁠
Every opportunity is a chance at expansion. You are learning, growing, and becoming more aware of what you need + what you will no longer allow. Putting those feelings into words out into the world for the first time takes a lot of courage. Doing so without anger or extremes or expectations takes a lot of patience + practice. ⁠
⁠
Today, I want you to know that you aren’t a failure. You are in it and are so much further along then the old you. It’s about progress, not perfection. ⁠
⁠
You can’t go back and say what you wish you would have in that moment. But you can choose to forgive yourself + look ahead instead. You have come a long way… beating yourself up right now won’t do anything but derail your focus + steal the joy of this moment. ⁠
⁠
You will always get another chance. Life works that way. It’s very cyclical. Take what you have learned and apply it next time. Not from a state of defense. But from a place of awareness, humility + humanness. ⁠
⁠
As always, I am rooting for you. ♥️⁠
