Summary

"I am not my past, I am not my future. This is the only place I am able to express my will.” Do you ever have those moments when you replay a certain event in your mind over and over? It becomes so real, it’s almost like you are there. You start thinking, “What could I have done differently? Does this make me a bad person? Could I have handled things better?” I know when this happens I start judging myself. I become my worst critic, obsessing over how I lost my temper here or the person I hurt there. Ultimately, these moments don’t define us. What does define us is right now. What we do at this moment is who we are, and as long as we learned from our mistakes we shouldn’t judge ourselves. We need to forgive ourselves and stop the emotional punishment. To go more into this I wanted to bring you a clip from Don Miguel Ruiz Jr. for this episode of 5 Minute Friday. Don Miguel is a master of transformation, and he shares so much wisdom about forgiveness and moving forward with life on Episode 630. In This Episode You Will Learn: Why people judge themselves so harshly (00:47) What it means to forgive yourself (1:23) How we reward and punish ourselves (1:40) The illusion of our expectations (2:38) How to forgive yourself (3:28)

0:29.8	Dom Miguel Ruis, the author of the Four Agreements.
0:33.4	And by combining the wisdom of his family's traditions with the knowledge gained from
0:37.7	his own personal journey, he now helps others realize their own path to personal freedom.
0:45.4	First, they see themselves as who they are.
0:50.2	They can't go back in the past and change their essence to a no or no to a yes because
0:54.0	life no longer exists in the past, so it only exists in my mind.
0:57.5	And it probably didn't happen the way I think it happened.
1:00.4	But I can't go back there.
1:01.9	This is the result of that consequence, and this is the result of who I am.
1:05.5	Now, true justice is pain for something once, injustice is pain over and over and over again.
1:12.6	So from that point of view, why am I continuing to judge myself?
1:16.4	Why am I continuing to be feeling this guilt?
1:19.3	And it's because I haven't forgiven myself.
1:21.5	I accept the truth, but I haven't forgiven myself and to me, to forgive ourselves is
1:25.8	to accept the truth and let it go.
1:28.9	What I mean by that is to learn from it.
