Admitting

Admitting when you're wrong is an art...a skill...a learned behavior.  Admitting when you're wrong is so terrifying and difficult....for EVERYONE!

Why is it so hard to do, when we know how great we will feel once we do it?  This is something I am not good at, just ask my co-workers....but it's definitely something I have tried to hone in on in the last 2 years. 

It is quite a gratifying and fulfilling feeling that follows once you can surrender to the pride and just say, "you're right, I'm wrong, I'm so sorry." 

I have gotten a lot better at admitting, apologizing and trying to move on....although the third part is the hardest for me, and I have definitely not mastered it.  I can admit and apologize, yet the moving on portion is an act on my part I guess.

I can pretend I am moving on and go through the motions, but deep down inside....I'm still holding on to the guilt of what I'm admitting and apologizing for.  A wise woman told me today that holding on to that guilt is not necessary.  I don't have to do that.  I can let go and let God hold it for me, I don't have to let the guilt define me. 

That is my focus today, not letting the guilt of those things that have passed define who I am today or tomorrow.  I can live a new day tomorrow. 

So there, I have admitted something today.  I am not good at admitting and following through with that important step by actually moving on .....for real moving on.

Thanks for your support fellow bloggers!
