Today’s forgiving journal is about Letting Go.

Funny, I don’t know even what to name this post.  I was thinking “Letting Go of the Past”….  “Letting Go of What I Am”…. and I chose to simply call it “Letting Go” and let the chips fall where they may.

I’m aware of a limiting belief in my mind that…

I am unworthy

I need to get it all perfect

I’m defined by my past

What I am also aware of is the centrality of this Lao Tzu quote in my forgiving process today:

The essence of who I am … is what I am learning with my forgiving process, experiencing it beyond just words, knowing it by loving and choosing to take care of myself.  Time for my forgiving process:

1 – Self-forgiveness: I forgive myself for judging myself as defined by my limiting beliefs.  I forgive myself for judging that it’s not possible for me to let go FULLY, especially of the mind.  (and as my spiritual teacher John-Roger says, “etcetera”!)

2 – Letting Go: I let go of the limiting belief that I am unworthy.  I let go of the limiting belief that I need to get it all perfect.  I let go of the limiting belief that I’m defined by my past.  I CHOOSE TO LOVE ME IN ALL WAYS.

3 – I am grateful for this Lao Tzu quote…it goes beyond just my mind and speaks to my Soul.  I am grateful for my open heart.  And I am grateful for the smile on my face.

The truth is that I am all of these things and more than them.  Amazing grace keeps popping up inside of me.  What I take that to mean is that I am born anew – I am looking forward to seeing what I might be.

I love you!

Love,

Debbie
