I am human, i am not perfect. I admit that i have done wrong, i might have hurt people along the way, i have made people cried, i have left people behind, i have hide the truth from people. But, by admitting my mistakes, am i saying that i wont do them again? I can surely try my best, but i can't promise. What i can promise is: i will learn from my mistakes. I will transform the negative experience to a useful learning experience. Yes i will!
After all, Elbert Hubbard said "Constant effort and frequent mistakes are the stepping stones of genius". I want to be a genius.. how about you? And i promise that i will forgive myself, I wont dwell into my mistakes, i will move on, knowing that should the same situation happens in the future, i will handle it more geniusly. I wont let the guilt from past mistakes to eat me up.
Above all, i will constantly remind myself that Allah will helps lighten my burden of guilt. "Allah would make the burden light for you, for man was created weak" (4:28). Our Prophet once said "All of Adam’s descendants constantly err, but the best of those who constantly err are those who constantly repent". Don't this just blow your mind? Indeed he is the Most Generous.. Allah forgives us for all mistakes we do no matter how many there are as long as we asked for the forgiveness! so, dont be too hard on yourself.. dont be too hard on other people.. be generous.. forgive and be forgiven!
