Self-forgiveness
While most ppl are busy making their New Year resolutions , maybe I should begin this brand new year not with any particular agenda but with a giant gesture of self - forgiveness for all the resolutions of the past which I never accomplished !!!
Yes , let me forgive myself for all the things I ever tried to do , but failed to finish ; Let me forgive myself for the times I shattered my own best intentions ; Let me forgive myself for the healthy diet which only lasted for three days ; Let me forgive myself for the pile of manuscript pages sitting in the bottom of my drawer , that I never quite figured out how to make into an article which I can publish ; Let me forgive myself for the daily meditation practice which I still have not cultivated ; Let me forgive myself for the forgiveness of others that I yet to learned how to manage ; Let me forgive myself for not being able to stop my tears from falling in the public ; Let me forgive myself for being mean and saying the bitchy things ; Let me forgive myself for letting another year passed in which I did not learn to speak Mandarin or French like a native ; Let me forgive myself for all the times I tried to do something of significance , yet couldn't seem to get around to it ... But most of all , let me never let my downfalls , embarrassments and shortcomings stop me from trying again ... Yes , I am always ashamed of trying again after my failure , coz I feel like I'm nothing but a screw-up !!! So let me forgive myself and then not be afraid to start over ... Yes , the only way I can ever have the chance of advancement is by ongoing to try ... Maybe I can make it or maybe not ... but that's fine ... just let me try again, for the hell of it ... seriously ~ otherwise , what else am I gonna do with the rest of my life ? !
