Do You

“Don’t be afraid to stand tall in YOUR truth! Boldly and confidently face everything that has, and is, keeping you bound. Fight for your inner peace! Fight for your happiness! Fight for everything and everybody that’s important to you! You are NOT a victim! Don’t even play into that. You owe it to yourself to LIVE! Live your life without the regrets, without the resentments, without the unforgiveness, without the blame game, without the self-pity, without any and everything that keeps you from experiencing true joy within! You are too important to waste your life away! Learn to appreciate and value your life, but most importantly, learn to appreciate and value yourself! You count too, no matter what you’ve done!”

― Stephanie Lahart

        Live your truth. Don’t let others decide the course of your life. And stop worrying about pleasing everyone else and focus on finding your happiness. Let go of past regrets and forgive yourself. And just live your life on your terms.

Forgiveness

“Forgiveness is not something you do for someone else; it’s something you do for yourself. To forgive is not to condone, it is to refuse to continue feeling bad about an injury.”

― Jim Beaver

         We have all been hurt by others and by life’s circumstances. But the key is knowing when to let go of these past hurts instead of carrying the bitterness and anger around like dead weight. And the answer lies in forgiveness. In order to move forward, you must forgive those who have hurt you…including yourself.
