Forgive yourself for not having achieved that dream.

Forgive yourself for not meeting expectations, for not being perfect enough, for not being ideal enough.

Forgive yourself for the mistakes you made, for the judgement errors, for the things you didn’t take serious enough.

Forgive yourself for not being funny enough, smart enough or popular enough.

Forgive yourself for not meeting the spec.

Forgive yourself not knowing what you did not know before you learned it.

Forgive yourself for all those, but never let yourself off the hook, never forgive yourself for not trying your best.

To live is to forgive, even oneself.

But never stop trying your best.
