What’s your favorite thing about yourself?

It’s often difficult to forget painful memories, traumatising experiences, and hurt faced from those we thought were our closed ones. Having myself gone through various chapters in life, two important words that has become a part of me now is:

1. Forgetfulness – Living in the past has never helped anyone. There were many questions I had – why did this happen to me? why did this person act this way? Why did they break my trust? There was no way I could go back and undo the things that happened in the past. Sooner I realised that, the best thing to do was to accept knowing it is beyond my control. Completely erasing them from the memory is difficult but the less importance I gave, it helped me to minimise the impact of it in my life.
2. Forgiveness: This one has been tough, but the most important one. Whether it has been forgiving someone or forgiving myself – the acceptance that there is always a reason why people behave certain way. The best is to give a benefit of doubt and move on in life. But this doesn’t mean, to allow yourself to be taken advantage of. The learnings has been a key in helping me in setting boundaries and prioritising myself.

The favourite feeling for me, has been to see my own spiritual transformation and growth! To see myself outgrow all those painful moments and memories.
