But then I read (re-read - how did I miss it the first time?) that loving SELF is also a requirement for harvestability!How true this is indeed for myself. I too am able to forgive others and sometimes so easily to the point that it baffles people I know, but I also find it true that I am harshest on myself and being able to forgive (and wholly love) the self, every day even, is not easy.
Uh oh! Yikes! Forgiving others was relatively easy for me...but wait! You mean I have to also forgive MYSELF!?
Needless to say, I was very disconcerted!
Forgiving myself has always been extreeeeeeeemely difficult for me. I have always struggled with that alot.
