In One Day

Do you have unresolved guilt? I'm not talking about "good" guilt, the feelings of shame or remorse that keep us from doing something incredibly stupid or hurtful. I mean unnecessary guilt. Over-anxiety and self-loathing about that which can no longer be changed.

If so, it may help to remember that:


-In one day you can recognize where your feelings of guilt come from.
-In one day you can decide to make necessary amends to those you may have hurt.
-In one day you can decide to ask for forgiveness from others.
-In one day you can exercise your spiritual power and choose to be at one with God and the universe.
-In one day you can decide to be gentler with yourself and allow yourself to experience the healing balm of acceptance.
-In one day you can resolve to learn from the past and not repeat your behavior.
-In one day you can choose to do something constructive with that guilt, and then continue every day until it is only a memory.


And best of all, that one day can be today.
