Courage To Speak
The truth is we never forget our failures. They seem to linger, hovering like snowy shadows. It's even harder to reconcile mistakes when we are reminded of the life they lead running parallel to the ability to forgive self. Constantly battling value and worth in the rearview mirror is doomed to strap us to shame. People tell us all the time, “Let it go. Move on!” But shame keeps us silent and silence destroys the soul. Letting go requires one thing: courage. Courage to speak. But not just to anyone, rather the specific people that surround our failures, mistakes and points of shame. This is not a process where we simply pray away the demons in the closet or sit cloistered on retreat bathing in spiritual sauce. We must act beyond our fear. We must move into a love for self that forgives, holds grace and understands never “giving up” looks like you talking about giving up! Giving up the truth of who you are, what you've done and where you want to go.
