Socrates believed that living a life where you live under the rules of others, in a continuous routine without examining what you actually want out of it is not worth living.

There is one truth that can not be disputed, we’re all human and we all make mistakes. We all mess up at one time or another. But remember that your mistakes do not define you and you too are worthy of forgiveness. So give yourself the grace to practice self-forgiveness when you mess up.
Forgiveness is a tricky space to navigate, especially when you're deep in your feels. When someone does us wrong it hurts, and it has the potential to fill us with anger and resentment. But how can we deal with the negative energy and find our way back to peace and love? in this episode of Reclaiming My Shine I speak about my own experiences of dealing with unhealthy friendships and learning to let go of grudges.
