Have You Forgiven YOU?
“I wonder if maybe I was pressuring myself to forgive others or maybe I wasn't ready to forgive.” In this episode of Today, I Am Alive! Discover the truth behind forgiveness, why you must forgive yourself before anyone else and how holding on to past trauma will only affect your happiness in the present.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- How could you forgive others for their misgivings when you hadn't forgiven yourself? The majority of us have made some terrible mistakes. Some mistakes may have cost us our marriage, our jobs, a close relationship, or even the loss of a loved one's life.
- Forgiving others can be challenging, it seems much easier to forgive others than it is to forgive yourself.
- The constant pain of your past can be crippling and it's hard to come to terms with something that you didn't do intentionally and doesn't line up with your values or beliefs.
- Dwelling on the past can only affect your happiness in the present. If you choose to carry trauma forward it will harm your future and you must remember that you can't change what happened in the past.
- There is one simple truth about us human beings. We think that we are perfect. Each of us is a multilayered, imperfect being with a mixed bag of character flaws and vulnerability and at some point, we all make mistakes.
BEST MOMENTS
“Some mistakes we have made have been so horrific. It may feel like it will take a couple of years before we can look at ourselves in the mirror again.”
“There are so many damaging expectations in our culture, society, education, religion, and social media, and we ourselves put on ourselves to be perfect human beings in this physical world.”

Her life was encapsulated in darkness, and she welcome the thought of dying. From a breakdown to a breakthrough, these words from Viktor Frankl’s book, Man's Search For Meaning, changed her life forever: “The existence of life is to suffer; to survive is to find meaning in suffering.” Once she came aware of this, her life changed, and choose to live each day like it's her last…
