The concept of forgiving your previous mistakes contains a profound fact- by putting an end to torment, human can give themselves a chance to experience new things and rectify their faults, which will lead to a more harmonious growth.
From my standpoint, the forgiveness that you give for yourself does not make you become sinless. Instead, it will help you to reach the self-acceptance, allow you to break free from all the fetters of repentance, maintain your inner peace and open the door to personal development.
Upon a time when I forgave myself for a serious misstep, I had a bad grade in my literature test. It might sound ridiculous but I am a literature major student. And happened to have a bad grade in my major was literally an alert. I got so drained and the feeling of dejection ran over me because of the fall in my study. I just can not remember how long it took me to bring back my sparks, but I did. Yesterday, on the April 2nd, 2024, I got a third prize of literature major, in Excellent Student at city level competition. And Taylor Swift once said: “Everything you lose is a step you take”. I believe after every defeat of mine, is a lesson i have to take for myself. Mistake is something that everyone has to face in life. And it is not always a bad thing if you truly acknowledge, remedy the wrongdoings and turn them into a life experience.
