Perhaps a teacher, family member, friend, or significant other once told you you weren't good enough. But you are. It's so easy to believe that naysaying inner voice that insists you can't, you won't, you suck, it'll never happen. Break the stronghold. Forgive them.
Forgive whoever hurt you, whoever lied to you, or whoever tried to dim your brilliant shine. Let it go. Forgiveness doesn't mean what this person did was "OK" or "acceptable" or that they're allowed to do it again. Forgiveness doesn't necessarily mean that this person is invited to continue being part of your life. Forgiveness simply means that you're deciding to release the heavy burden of pain and sadness and say, "I'm choosing to let this go. I'm choosing to forgive and move on, because I want to feel lighter and happier and free." Forgiveness is a gift that you give to yourself.
And yes, sometimes the hardest person to forgive is yourself. But it's so important. If you're carrying around a thousand pounds of anger and disappointment about yourself — anger about all the mistakes you've made, the opportunities you've squandered, the steps you should have taken five years ago — guess what? That thousand-pound weight on your back is just going to slow you down and make it harder to reach your new destination. Let it go. Release the weight. Say, "I'm not perfect. I've made some poor decisions, but that's in the past. My past doesn't define who I am today, or where I'm going. Every day, I'm choosing to work a little harder and be my best self!" With that kind of attitude, you'll be able to move toward your new dreams so much faster.
You are awesome. You are worthy. You are deserving. The world can no longer hold you back from what is yours.
