Forgive yourself...

Thanks to my sister, I had to go to my forgotten yahoo a/c and happened to come across this article in a newsletter from U-Elites’ Martial Fitness, which I find the extracted statement very meaningful and will like to share with all:

“Forgive the person who hurt you and most importantly, forgive yourself! Thing happened cannot be forgotten easily, but we can choose to forgive. Appreciate anything that come into our life and always maintain a calm and cheerful mind. You will soon notice that life is so much fun and meaningful.”

Isn’t it true that we often forgive other people but not ourselves? As a result in one way or another, we are trapped somehow in the past since we cannot forgive ourselves for our actions at the point of time. We might even start to think what will happen otherwise if we don’t behave in this way or if we behave in another way. However, the truth is there’s no way we could ever return to the past.

All man made mistakes, and that includes you and me. If we have never made mistakes before, how will we know what we should cherish now? What we should be thinking is what we have learnt from the mistakes or regrets in life and then forgive ourselves, learn from the mistake and move on with our lives.

Hope everyone can understand the essence of it and try to put into practice no matter how long and difficult it can be. I believe happiness is always within our reach.

喜欢电影<宋家皇朝>:
宋庆龄弥留之际,老仆人忍不住问到:“夫人,如果孙先生不是那么早逝世,中国的历史会一样吗?” 宋庆龄惘然答曰:如果?历史没有如果……

得有人说<历史就是许多人的人生。历史没有如果,人生亦没有如果。谁都不可能从头来过>
但是我们可以前进走向未来。
