If you can't forgive yourself, you think you're never going to be able to forgive yourself, and you repeat the same behavior.
Forgiveness is a gift you give yourself.

Forgiveness is like faith. You have to keep reviving it.
The people who did you wrong or who didn't quite know how to show up, you forgive them. And forgiving them allows you to forgive yourself too.
Forgiveness is a very personal and intimate thing. Forgiveness is not something that you can speak for others because it includes not only your desire and will, your reflection and intellect, but also your emotions.
Forgive many things in others; nothing in yourself.
To forgive oneself? No, that doesn't work: we have to be forgiven. But we can only believe this is possible if we ourselves can forgive.
