Bittersweet

DAY 3 OF 21

Judgement and condemnation are two words with something in common. Both involve drawing a final conclusion about someone. The problem with judging and condemning the people in our lives, is that it doesn’t leave room in our minds for them to change. We all need space to grow and to give the next version of ourselves a chance to do better without being judged by the mistakes of yesterday. The best way for us to do this for others is to consider how much space or time you’ve needed (or would want from others) to grow beyond your own mistakes, and then offer that same time and space to others to forgive themselves and make improvements. What would it look like to replace judgement and condemnation with love and grace toward someone today?

About this Plan

Bittersweet

Okay so you've forgiven, but how can you tell if it's even working? The hurt, frustration, or confusion is still very real and "they" never actually said sorry. It can feel sweet to stay bitter. But maybe there's a better answer. We'll learn how when you don't forgive, it hurts you, that everybody needs forgiveness, and how it's okay that healing doesn't always happen overnight.
