“Forgive the past. It is over. Learn from it and let it go. People are constantly changing and growing. Do not cling to a limited, disconnected, negative image of a person in the past. See that person now. Your relationship is always alive and changing.”
“Begin actively loving the other right now. Do not grieve or regret not loving in the past. The past is over. Begin right now. It is never too late to express your love and compassion.”
~Brian Weiss, M.D. from Messages from the Masters
Thank you! I’ve known about myself to have a tendency to hold onto things (I’m such a Cancer), but now that I’m nearing 30 – I feel like I have more power to make conscious decisions about letting the past go. I’ve been having a hard time forgiving myself for being mean to my partner and forgiving my father for becoming estranged from us a long time ago. But these wise words of Dr. Weiss are just what I needed to hear/read right now. I choose to let go and forgive.
