Forgiveness is the Most Important Choice You Can Make

Forgiveness is possible even in the most impossible of situations.

Read that again.

As we approach Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish calendar, we ask for forgiveness - from others, and from G-d.

But we often forget the most important person to ask for forgiveness from… ourselves.

Before we can ever forgive anyone else, we must learn how to forgive ourselves.

Forgiveness is not something that is “earned” or “deserved.” We give it because it is a choice we make to no longer carry the heavy burden of resentment, judgement, and shame.

We give it so that we can live in love instead of “what could have been.”

We give it to ourselves so that we can live fully and freely - allowing ourselves to make mistakes and screw up from time to time - because when we know forgiveness is always available, we don’t keep ourselves from taking worthwhile risks out of fear of messing up.

So what have you been holding on to and not forgiving yourself for?

🙏 That time you messed up a live performance?
🙏 That time your album release didn’t go as planned?
🙏 That time you hurt someone you cared about?
🙏 That time you hired the wrong people?

Even in the most “unforgiveable” of circumstances… you can always learn from it and forgive yourself so that you can move on to create the impact you are meant to have.

It is simply a choice.
And one of the most important choices you can make.

And if you find yourself struggling to make that choice, I am here to support you. Just send me a DM and we can set up a free consultation to talk about how forgiving yourself can help you create the life and career you’re dreaming of.

Whether you observe Yom Kippur or not, let this be your reminder to choose forgiveness and love.

And to all observing - G’mar Chatima Tova and have an easy and meaningful fast!
