With increased consciousness comes a greater burden of responsibility.  I have spent the last few weeks soul searching and trying to understand the reasons behind the things I say and do.  Gaining greater understanding of my perceived short term and long term gain to the decisions/ Actions I make. Realising that the short term gain to some actions an decisions does not aid my long term goals. By understanding this I can make better decision in future.  This process has helped me identify actions that no longer empower or improve my life, and in fact have been detrimental or holding me back.

I have come to terms and accepted that the mistakes I have made in the past I will certainly learn from, I will endeavour to not repeat again and take full responsibility for. I continue the process of forgiving myself, letting go of the grief, anger and pain that my actions have caused. I celebrate the gift of greater understanding they bring to my life. Through shining the unflattering light of truth on my thoughts, beliefs, actions and mistakes I grow.

The beauty of our humanity lays in our ability to do better, to forgive, to love, to change and adapt, to believe in the purpose of our being.
