What does forgiveness look like to you? I remember as a kid, getting into a fight with my siblings, my parents breaking it up and saying, “alright Mark, forgive your brother.” And I’d say the words…but I was still angry. I’ve found that for myself, forgiveness is a continual process, one that comes in layers. And it takes time, stillness, willingness to listen, to set boundaries, to make needs known and to honor the needs of others. And patience…patience with yourself and the people around you. Patience with your feelings, with life itself and the present moment. Love y’all. #forgiveness #howtoforgive #personalgrowth #personalgrowthjourney

What societal expectations have you placed on yourself? The expectations we’ve learned…about what life is supposed to look like… And no, they’re not real…but man it can feel that way sometimes. And you feel like a failure, like a fraud, a screw up. And that’s where you learn to give yourself grace. Observe where you’re judging yourself. Learn from the mistakes. And Embrace Being Human. #guitar #selfswareness #personalgrowthjourney #societalexpectations
