Forgive yourself

We aren't too far into the new year to add another thing to our list of making changes that will boost happiness.  This is one thing I struggle with.  Sometimes I think I have caused all the unhappiness in my life.  Then I blame myself for everything.  The truth is that we are always doing the best we can and if we can learn from our choices and mistakes, we are indeed becoming a better person.  The reality is we have to stay "on it!"  Little things like self-talk can batter us.  It is so ingrained in some, it is a hard one to break.  So, just for today, and maybe tomorrow, I am going to watch my self-talk and look forward, not back.  We are, after all, humans in this earth school, just doing the best we can.
