We need to feel good about ourselves, have self esteem, to be better able to offer good feelings and good experiences to others. We may be quietly ashamed of the person we have become, when we notice that we are not really giving much that is good to those we care about; yet, we may feel stuck and don’t know the way out. Or, we may be giving to others in a compulsive way, but feel unfulfilled by it, because we feel empty inside, and don’t feel good about ourselves at our core.

Forgiving ourselves benefits everyone around us as we then allow more good to come into our life and have more good to offer those we care about. Forgiving ourselves is therefore one of the most generous and un-selfish things we can do as so many people will benefit from our greater capacity to live a good life. Learning to forgive yourself is vitally important. We may need make amends, if possible, to those we have harmed to truly forgive ourselves, but it is best to do some actual self forgiveness excercises before deciding what to do about making amends.

Yet, learning how to forgive can change all of that. Forgiveness can free you from the affects of the past so that you can reshape yourself and your life and begin to live up to your true potential.
