@LadiesofHive Community Contest #248 questions for the week are:
1️⃣ If forgiveness is especially beneficial for those who are able to let go of past grudges, the invitation to reflect upon is: Do we always have to forgive? Why forgive someone who doesn't deserve forgiveness? Should we always forgive? Share your thoughts.
~ 𝐀𝐍𝐃 / 𝐎𝐑 ~
2️⃣ If we realize that we should love ourselves more, yet no one teaches us how to do so, how can we begin to love ourselves? What can we do to feel better about ourselves?
Thank you 
I personally believe that forgiveness is the only way to heal completely. While some people say that there are somethings which can never be forgiven, but I believe that there is nothing that cannot be forgiven. I understand that it's easier said then done. There are some scars which go very deep and forgiveness seems almost impossible. When you have resentment on someone for any of their actions, there is a very strong feeling of pain, anger and hurt associated with it.
I give a lot of spiritual introspection to any situation and people involved in it who have caused me pain. I know it is my karma somewhere coming back to me, through that experience I have to grow spiritually, and if I hold on to the pain and hurt I will never be able to break through those toxic ties of my life.
Again it is my belief, when we forgive someone it is not for them, it is for us. So even if the person does not deserve I must because that will bring me peace and healing to me. I have had 2 people in my life, and very close relationships, who I thought I will never be able to forgive because of whatever they did to my life. But then when I understood the true meaning of healing, I did and I feel so much at peace with it. All those dark thoughts have vanished and all I feel is love for them.
Forgiveness is a very powerful tool, it can transform our lives completely, never underestimate it's power. Also as time goes by in my life, I have started feeling it is so meaningless to hold on to these grudges of past. They were only disturbing my peace of mind and giving me pain and haunted dreams.
Self-love should be natural and no one can ever teach us that. If we cannot love our own-self how will we be ever capable of loving someone else. It's a feeling that starts with self and spreads out to others.
To love your own-self one must accept themselves fully, no matter whatever they are, good or not good, the transformation will happen later on, but first is the acceptance. If we do not accept our self for whatever we are we will never ever be able to think of loving ourselves. We all have our positive and negative shades, so if we can accept positive, why not negative.
When a mother loves her child, she loves unconditionally, no matter whatever the child becomes a good or a bad person, her love for the child will never fade, and such should be the love for self also, only then you will be able to think about your wellbeing in the true sense.
