Five of Cups - Reversed…

That private pain you have been holding on to so tightly is bleeding you lifeless. We all have past regrets - situations we wished we had handled differently, failures both personal and professional, people that we loved deeply but let down…the list goes on and on. But, when we embrace these experiences and continue to feel the hurt and shame as the years go on, we allow them to suck our spirit away. Mistakes can inform who we become, but they do not define who we are. It’s true, the other party involved may never be able to forgive you, but the time has come to forgive yourself. Acknowledge the horribleness of what you did or did not do, then recognize that you learned a big lesson from this. Let go of the shadow shame that you allow to follow you and put a stop to the hemorrhaging of your essence. Apply pressure to yourself only for change and growth and hop into your next adventure burden free. It’s time, little bunny - you are free!

“You did then what you knew how to do. And when you knew better, you did better.” - Maya Angelou
