The daily quote today comes from The Silva Mind Control Method of Mental Dynamics

“I forgive myself for all my past actions. From this moment forward, I will be the best me that I know how to be….live your life the best way you know how. Be the best you that you can be.”

Forgiveness seems to be a challenge for many of us. It is truly healing when we can say and mean it from the depths of your heart. I forgive you. I forgive myself! And, this may take one time or it may take 1000 times. But it is very important to do, otherwise we continue a pattern of guilt and punishment upon ourselves and others!

Is there something that you wish you would or would not have done and haven’t forgiven yourself!?! Do it now! Relax and take a few deep breaths and allow yourself to truly forgive! And know that you did the best that you could do with the knowledge you had at that point of time! And, make a commitment that every moment you will bring forth the best you possible!

I know there are many things I wish I would have done, some that I regret doing. These past experiences leak my energy and personal power. I don’t feel energized about my day’s and my future when I don’t acknowledge the presence of the guilt from the past. But the freedom I give myself when I can say…I forgive myself.. and then get on with it and create whatever I want in my life! The energy is released and creativity explodes and I feel alive and happy!

A personal example from my life; when I was a freshman in college I saw Muscle Media magazine and admired Shawn Phillips and all of the beautiful people in that magazine and had a flash that is for me!! And I trained hard and sculpted my body, then moved from Iowa to LA for a summer and had this grand vision of being a fitness model and just being able to transform my body and being so alive and radiant and inspiring and helping others do the same. It was truly a big dream for me!

I did do some modeling and got a modeling portfolio and I was in Muscle & Fitness magazine but I didn’t give myself fully. I half heartily competed in fitness shows with this dream still in me but never winning and never being audacious enough to say you know what that is what I want and I am going to do what I need to do to make it a reality! After awhile I had convinced myself that I didn’t want to do fitness shows anymore and that it was a vain goal to want to become a fitness model and that even helping and inspiring others to physically transform was stupid. I should grow up and do something else, get a real job! :)

I thought that I had let it go. Then recently I realized I was still resenting myself and angry that I never fulfilled that dream! And, there was a part of me that was like you are too old now for that, give it up, forgive yourself and let it go and move onto something more evolved, more spiritual (whatever the hell that means) And, then there was this other part of me that was like that is BS you are just scared that you won’t be able to do it and will look like a fool and waste time on a dream that may never fully be manifested. FEAR is the only reason that you didn’t do it and haven’t done it!! And, if you really wanted to be brave and inspiring to yourself and others you would start it now and get on with making this dream a reality and coach others to manifest their dreams!

So, here I am competing for a fitness show and totally committed to transformation and dreams being realized! And it is all perfect because I now come from a different consciousness than when I was 20 and I can truly honor and appreciate the journey and my own evolution in the process and totally get My Goddess on! :) I forgive myself and I commit to giving the world the best me possible!

What about you? Do you need to forgive yourself for something!?! Is there a dream you left behind and want to revisit and recommit to!?! I am sending you all green lights (as Wayne Dyer says ;) GO FOR IT!!!! (and please let me know what happens- this stuff lights me up :) )
