<div>As much as we want to do what we think is "right", we can only base our actions on what we are able to do given our experiences and the journey we are on. When we do something that turns out to be what we think is a mistake, we have to realize that it's all perfect and forgive ourselves. <br/> <br/>Only when we forgive ourselves are we able to choose differently the next time we are given the opportunity. <br/></div> <div> posted in <a href="http://beforgiven.tribe.net">You are Forgiven.....</a> - 14 replies </div>

<div>I do not remember If I got this from you Lynn or not. But here this is, in my favorites. <br/> <br/>http://www.celebratelove.com/forgive.htm <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/>a sample of what I found there: <br/>LoveNote. . . One pardons to the degree that one loves. - Francios De La Rochefoucauld <br/> <br/>LoveNote. . . Our capacity to make peace with another person and with the world depends very much on our capacity to make peace with ourselves. - Thich Nhat Hanh <br/> <br/>LoveNote. . . Love is an act of endless forgiveness. - Peter Ustinov <br/> <br/>LoveNote. . . Genuine forgiveness is participation, reunion overcoming the powers of estrangement. . . We cannot love unless we have accepted forgiveness, and the deeper our experience of forgiveness is, the greater is our love. - Paul Tillich <br/> <br/>LoveNote. . . To forgive is the highest, most beautiful form of love. In return, you will receive untold peace and happiness. - Robert Muller <br/> <br/>LoveNote. . .

<div>where we must begin. <br/> <br/>to forgive ones' self is <br/>the ultimate in forgiveness <br/>and also probably the hardest <br/>after all... if it were not for <br/>myself, I would not have gotten <br/>into that mess to begin with. <br/> <br/>forgive myself for not knowing <br/>how badly it would hurt and <br/>whose lives would be affected. <br/> <br/>forgive myself for being. <br/>sometimes it feels that bad. <br/> <br/>and sometimes all I want to do <br/>is to wallow in the feel bads. <br/>which is what I'll do until <br/>I'm tired of wallowing. <br/> <br/>then I'll get up and forgive myself. <br/>go on about my business, <br/>hopefully to have learned a lesson <br/>not to repeat........</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://beforgiven.tribe.net">You are Forgiven.....</a> - 1 reply </div>

<div>You are a beautiful child of the universe searching for the path to lead you back to your creator. It's about choices. If you make a choice but discover you don't like the consequences, forgive yourself (it's only a mistake) and choose again. <br/> <br/>What is love but the absence of fear? Like dark is the absence of light, where there is light there is no darkness. Where there is love there is no fear. <br/> <br/>In light and love, I am. <br/>Lynn</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://beforgiven.tribe.net">You are Forgiven.....</a> - 2 replies </div>
