Day 3 -- 30 Days of Truth

Today's assignment is to name something that I need to forgive myself for so here's my list.

I need to forgive myself for:

  • Failing to turn my computer-related degree into a high-paying career in technology
  • Not having the wherewithal to lose weight and keep it off
  • Eating when I'm stressed out or when I feel inadequate
  • Being too harsh with The Fiance when what I really want to do is speak the truth in love
  • Not being outgoing enough
  • Being more of a follower instead of a leader
  • Not being pretty enough
  • Being the kind of girl who always looks like the "Before" picture and never the "After"
  • Not writing enough . . . or ever
  • Not making enough money
  • Not spending the money I have wisely.
  • Consistently failing to live up to my potential.

This may seem like a lot of things for which I need to forgive myself but it's really only one thing: I need to forgive myself for not being perfect.

That moved me. Pert near made me bawl. If I had been anywhere near you when you compiled that list, I would have hugged you silly before you could finish it.
