FORGIVE | You'll feel better.

FORGIVENESS 💙 | Self-Forgiveness

Have you ever blamed yourself for anything before? Were you at fault? Have you done something to yourself or someone which caused feelings of guilt, shame, or wrongdoing? You're not alone. Most of us have had many experiences with such emotions. 

Some of you don't recall or even know why the pressure of guilt surrounds your life. Ask yourself what was so awful, you didn't allow forgiveness. Do you remember? Does the thought cause pain or make you feel less than? Listen to the self forgiveness affirmation and consider a pardon.


Wondering when to forgive? Right now. It's time to forgive and understand why you feel such a way so you may unleash negative feeling about yourself, about the situation, or about someone. It's time to acknowledge, absolve, accept, and act accordingly. Acknowledge the emotion or pain (I feel shameful/guilty because...). Absolve yourself (I am freeing myself of...). If you need to cry, cry. If you want to scream, scream. Get some fresh air if you need to. Do what is necessary to relieve and release. Accept what is, then give yourself consent to mend your heart, rehabilitate, and feel better. Act accordingly (Listen to the Selfish Mindset Affirmations 💙, pray 🙏, or choose another healthy remedy) to help you move forward.

Remember: If we continue to hold on to pain, it will continue to hurt us. Let it go!

"I think the first step is to understand that forgiveness does not exonerate the perpetrator. Forgiveness liberates the victim. It's a gift you give yourself." - T.D. Jakes

When we learn to forgive, we forgive. In other words, when you learn to forgive yourself, you will forgive others. Give it a try, it doesn't cost anything but effort. 

"Forgiveness does not mean ignoring what has been done or putting a false label on an evil act. It means, rather, that the evil act no longer remains as a barrier to the relationship. Forgiveness is a catalyst creating the atmosphere necessary for a fresh start and a new beginning." - Martin Luther King Jr.

Love yourself. Choose greater. Live in peace. 

"We must develop and maintain the capacity to forgive. He who is devoid of the power to forgive, is devoid of the power to love." - Martin Luther King Jr.

Value | Your value is self made.

VALUE 💙 | Self-Value  Know your importance and recognize your capabilities. Your value is in your mind and in your heart. It is your protection from anything you don't agree to be engaged with. Place value upon yourself first, everything else will fall in order. It's okay to feel good about yourself. Be happy about living. Be excited and ready for life's surprises as you would for your favorite food. You know the feeling 😝. When life throws us a curveball, it's not for us to feel less than. It's in fact for us to increase our beliefs within ourselves and push forward. Pick up the ball and throw it back. Value yourself as if it was a deadly decision. You only have yourself to impress. You must get used to fulfilling your own self with hope and worthiness. Tell yourself everyday: I am valuable. I am loved. I am wanted. If I can think it, I can experience it because I believe in myself.

Grow | Then Grow Some More

Grow 💙 | Self-Growth When we decide to stop judging others and focus on self, in that same moment, we decide to accept ourselves and begin the journey of self-growth. Self growth is an increase in self development. Whether it's reading, learning, listening, accepting, appreciating, talking, training, thinking, or comprehending, it takes action. Making mistakes is a necessity to growth, which plays a major role in how we learn and understand concepts. Action is everything. Everything we do matters because our growth depends on it.  Self growth is up to you. You are responsible for your personal development, no one else.  Do something for yourself; grow up. Society is not always right, so you have to know when to stop listening. "Conformity is the jailer of freedom and the enemy of growth." - John F. Kennedy
