Forgiving the Past Hurts, Who to Start With?

Forgiveness is the key to letting the past stay the past. Deciding the line of people to forgive or ask forgiveness from, is sometimes harder than we think. If we have had a long history of pain from or toward others, remembering names and causes can be even harder. Either way the forgiveness should go, I suggest you start with yourself.

Sometimes forgiving ourselves is the hardest part of moving forward. No one will lie to you more, than you lie to yourself....thus making it harder to accept that no one is prefect, we all make mistakes but owning up to them is the true route of moving on.

Asking the ones you have hurt for forgiveness, then accepting their answer whether it's the one you want to hear or not is a doorway to moving forward. You can not make someone forgive you for the past hurts but once you have ask,,,you have done your part. If they decline, that's their burden to bare, not yours.

Once you have reached the end of asking for forgiveness of others, accept the fact you have done all you can do to right the past and move forward with an open mind and a new love for yourself.

Whatever it is you are searching for, be ready to accept it, when it's offered. Give yourself the trust to make good decisions and in time, you will.
