I apologize for my forgetting that you are my beloved, that you are my mirror, that you are my greatest opportunity to be conscious and mindful. I apologize for trying to make you make me be a better person instead of remembering to be a better me, for you and for us.

I am sorry for my selfishness and the way i treated my mother as she was dying of cancer. I was 10, and am not really sure I understood my behavior at the time, but i wish things had been different all those times i lashed out on her for no reason. I am also sorry that in my head at times i wished it had been my father instead of my mother. I don't know what i would have done without him growing up as he was a mother and father to both me and my very little brother and sister at the time. I'm sorry i blame him for moving on so quickly and for the reason i have relationship issues. I never want to hurt him again with my selfish words or actions and i hope that my mom gets this message too, that maybe she is reading this right now and that she is with me, always.

I apologize to myself for believing so often in all the negative things my inner critic says to me.

I STILL FIND IT DIFFICULT TO FORGIVE MYSELF FOR PUTTING DOWN MY BELOVED DOG. I THOUGHT SHE WAS UNBALANCED ,BUT NOW I SEE SHE NEEDED TRAINING. I FIND IT SO HARD TO FORGIVE ME AND I DO FORGIVENESS EVERYDAY FOR HER AND IT HAS LESSONED,BUT STILL FEEL GULIT. I WISH I HAD HER BACK AND I KNOW THIS WILL NEVER HAPPEN. I JUST HOPE AND PRAY THAT SOMEDAY I WILL DEEPLY FORGIVE MYSELF AND BELIEVE MY OWN WORDS. THANKS TO LEVINES FOR ANY FORGIVNESS SENT MY WAY..

I apologize for being a failure. I apologize for never being good enough. I apologize for never amounting to anything. I apologize for my selfishness and my self centeredness. I apologize for my weakness and my cowardice. I apologize for my meaness and cruelty. I apologize for my ugliness. I apologize for my ignorance and stupidity. I apologize for hurting others and myself. Thank you very much for providing this opportunity on your website and for reading this. Susan

Dear mom, I am sorry for what happened to you that prevented you from being emotionally available. I forgive you, and wish you well on your journey, wherever you are. I am sorry I couldn't live up to your unrealistic expectations. I am sorry for not being perfect. I am sorry for all the mistakes I've made, and for whatever anger and embarrassment you felt. I forgive myself for continuing to judge myself and others in the way you taught me. I am sorry for all the suffering in the world, past, present and future. I open to my pain, and let in God's infinite healing power, and wish it for everyone else too. I forgive and bless everyone. I stop playing God, and leave karmic consequences up to God. I ask God's forgiveness for myself and everyone else. Peace, blessings, and healing to all...

im sorry for not stand up for myself when i needed to and taking life for granted .when u think about it life is to be spended with love and compassion not hatred and regrets.

I'm sorry for not standing up for myself sooner. I'm sorry for not having good boundaries -- I genuinely thought you'd be there for me when I needed you. You were not. Everyone says how strong I am, and I know I'll get back to being that way. I've really been thrown for a loop on this one. I did love you, and now I need to let you go. I need to forgive myself and I need to forgive you. I'm so grateful for my brother and his family. They are my family, they are my people. Thank you Lord God, thank you Universe.

sorry

I want to apologize to my father for being late on Sunday mornings. I knew it was very important to him to be at church early, and I'm sorry that I often was not ready on time. I also want to state that I now realize my father was (and still is) caught in fear, self-hatred and a deep sense of unworthiness. It is only natural that he would lash out at those closest to him. While I don't condone his actions, I apologize for my role in contributing to the situation, and I hope that he can see how his actions were harmful, counter-productive and even abusive. I hope my father awakens to a presence so loving that all fear subsides, if even for a moment. I hope that my father learns to love himself and learns to appreciate the beauty of his life. I hope that even if my father never apologizes to me in person, he reconciles in his own heart...and learns to both accept responsibility AND be gentle with himself. I wish my father peace, I wish him love, and I wish him joy.

I am sending this apology out to all those I have let down, overlooked and disappointed. Mostly, I want to apologize to all those that I could have helped and did not. From the little things to the big.

I am sorry to myself and all others that I have judged and not treasured. I am sorry for my fears and self-hatred that have kept me from treasuring myself and others. I am sorry for only seeing my hurts and not yours. I will try to be more loving, accepting and compassionate from now on to myself and others. Thank you.

WHEN ANYONE FEELS STUCK....DO SERVICE.... DO ANYTHING FOR ANYONE WE DON'T HAVE TO BE WISE OR HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY JUST TO CARE IS ENOUGH.

YOU CAN DO IT AND GET UNSTUCK......BE PATIENT, ITHIS PRACTICE WILL HELP YOU... treasure yourself...love ondrea

I want to forgive myself for not forgiving myself. I was not taught self care. I am sorry for being attached to judging myself constantly and the anxiety of the other shoe dropping and thinking that that too, will get me sick. I am sorry for treating my body so badly, like many did before me, including my family, who saw me only as something to use and terrorize. I'm sorry that I smoke and disrespect food in spite of having been sick. I'm sorry I feel broken when the grace of surrendering into wisdom has shown itself to me like a truck on top of my chest; head on fire knowledge? the cancer showing itself in the vision inside my cells, saving my life?for Quan Yin coming to me and saying all of this is exactly perfect; exactly me? DAMN I should know better!!I I want to feel worthwhile even as I struggle with this; because I struggle with this. I am tired and feel broken and want to feel whole even as.. "tired and broken." I want to learn to give myself A BREAK! I want to forgive myself for all of the times I abandoned myself.

This forum brought up for me, sexual abuse by my brother and severe physical abuse by my father. I cannot forgive you. I cannot forgive you!!

I am so sorry all the times I have shouted at my disabled son and blamed him for my tiredness, frustration and rage. I am so sorry for shocking him with my verbal tantrums when I am supposed to be the adult since he is only a child. I am sorry for blaming him for limiting me when it is me who limits myself continuously. I am so sorry for complaining about him so much. I am so sorry for so often, failing to see his tremendous beauty, humour, loving heart and uniqueness. I am so sorry for seeing him as a burden rther than a gift. And I am so sorry for blaming everyone else for not understanding me when I constantly withold my true feelings, for fear of beimg hurt. I am sorry to all those I have ever blamed for my unhappiness when i know I, alone, create my own heaven and hell To my beautiful son and all those I have ever harmed, .please forgive me.
