There is no such thing as failure, it is always a learning experience. In other words, being unsuccessful has to teach us something, otherwise we repeat the lesson until we get it right. Understand what each situation has to teach you and move on.

It is necessary to forgive if we are to grow. Firstly, forgive your parents for their shortcomings as they did the best they could. Then forgive yourself for past mistakes. Bach Flower remedies: larch and elm.

I will never forget a lady who came to my practice with many problems. All the time she was complaining about her husband. I finally said, ‘Why don’t you bring him along for therapy and I’ll help you by talking to him?’

Her reply staggered me: ‘I haven’t seen him for ten years. We were divorced years ago.’ I couldn’t believe how this man was still so much in her thoughts. She was holding on to so many grievances, destroying her life by not forgiving him for whatever real or imagined slights he had done to her.

When I was able to point this out to her, she released her internal stress and healed herself. It was the beginning of a new life when she understood that her attitude needed to change. Her thoughts were only poisoning herself. They weren’t hurting him. He had obviously chosen someone else who made his life happy. If she had realised earlier how negative her attitude was, she might still have her husband rather than a broken family —for her children had decided life was easier with Dad.
