You must forgive so you can grow

I forgave myself for not being able to love you the way that you loved me.

I forgave myself for being different and not fitting in.

It was just something I had to be.

I forgave myself for feeling that I would never succeed.

It was something I did indeed.

I forgave myself for feeling weak.

I had to keep going I had to seek.

I forgave myself for feeling unaccepted.

I forgave myself for feeling rejected.

I had to push through the darkness.

I had to break free from mediocracy.

I had to care enough to embody my own greatness and believe in me.

I learned to break free from my own prison called fear.

I had to run as far as I could from my comfort zone, only to discover that it was way more comfortable where I landed.

I was here.

I have discovered in all of this, that my spirit has come to life and my soul is truly happy.

This helped me to discover that I truly am a buried treasure that had to dig deep within herself.

That treasure was inside of me all this time.

During the whole process of forgiveness I simply realized that I needed to polish off the pieces as I learned in order to get them to shine again.

Forgive yourself, with an open heart, this is a great way for you to start.

You will see that you can plant the seeds

To your own garden of life.

Water them each day, you will rise and you will grow.

Forgiveness and Growth is a journey that you must learn to know.
