Pondering on a beautiful day

Pondering on a beautiful day

We all have made mistakes in our life doing some things wrong along with our journey. We often feel trapped because good does not associate with bad. It doesn’t necessarily mean we are a bad person, it means that we are misinformed and confused in some areas. In addition, it means that we have held resentment and guilt, which we should have let go, a long time ago.

There is nothing wrong with forgiving yourself for mistakes we have made. Forgiveness only goes so far. If you continue to ask for forgiveness for the mistakes and continue making the same mistakes thinking that you will be forgiven, you won't be forgiven. 

We must strive to do what we know is right in order to enjoy peace of mind and true happiness. What we put in our thoughts will come out later. To keep your mind and body pure as much as possible, do not dwell on guilt, hate, and other negative feelings

I sometimes wonder if a person feels entrapped if it is difficult to discover their needs. Does the person feel empty? From experience, I know that to be open to self-growth it is important to purge guilt, hate, and other negative thoughts from your system.  

When your self-awareness expands and you get to the point where you can forgive yourself for imagined or real wrongs you have committed, then you need self-discipline. Having self-discipline will help you to avoid repeating the same mistake. With self-discipline, hopefully, you will recognize temptation and walk away. 

One way to develop self-discipline involves accepting the consequences of your behaviour. This is hard but over time, with self-love and practice, you will succeed.  

Self-development or building self-discipline is not easy; it takes effort and practice and you may fall on your face along the way. Persistence and practice are important and you will be rewarded if you continue. 

A goal in life should be to bring your mind and body into harmony so that they work in unison to assist you in maintaining good health and happiness. 

Identifying who you really are will make you feel good. This is hard, so my advice as you are moving forward in your attempt to find self-discipline and peace of mind is:

Keep it simple, smart (KISS)!

Hi Preston, thank you for your thoughts, you have given me something to think about when you made the connection between Self-Forgiveness and Change and Faith and Works.

Thank you, Claire, I love the picture as well it was sent to me by my daughter, who lives in Australia. Australia at this time of the year is very beautiful, I can picture your street in my mind's eye.
