This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for September 11, 2009:
Forgiving myself has been a huge part of my spiritual growth. I always forgave others, taking the blame for failed relationships, until those relationships got so toxic that I had to walk away. Then I carried guilt for not speaking up sooner, when there might have been a chance to repair the relationship.
When I finally gave myself permission to make mistakes, and forgave myself for all those times I let things go too far, I really changed as a person. I still struggle with guilt and self-doubt, but I am much more accepting of myself. I am much more daring now, because I know I will let myself off the hook even if I fail.

Well said, that forgiving yourself thing, sure can be tough. I have liked to think of it like not only a pay forward goal but forward giving plan, instead of selfdoubt, skinned knees of curiosity that do not stop you leaning to ride. Instead of halting guilt, a redirection beacon on the search that lays head.
As you can see it does not mean it is easy but certainly a more positive way to learn about oursleves.
