Committing to Confidence - a Blog Series by Katelyn Andrist

Lately in life I have been able to recognize and reflect on this quote by Suzy Kassem, “Being able to admit you’re wrong is important, but so is standing up for your yourself when you’re right.”

In life we must understand we are human and we make mistakes. But you are still allowed to stand up for yourself to respect boundaries. It is very important to have a balance of forgiveness and respect for not only yourself but the whole world. When we love, forgive, and forget we create a new chapter of our lives. We owe it to ourselves to learn from the past and continue on with our journey.

 We can sit and wonder but that leads us down a deep and unforgivable hole. You have to choose yourself every time and that includes forgiving others, yourself, and the world. Even as a human being when we make a mistake we are still worthy of forgiveness, kindness, and compassion. Trust me, it will be hard but leading with an open heart full of love is much better for you in the long run. 

Remember to choose kindness, forgiveness, and yourself.
