We are humans, and humans make mistakes, so you can´t blame yourself for your humanity. It is part of the process of growing as an individual. We shouldn´t ignore what has happend, but always take the opportunity to learn from the past, apply the lessons in the present, to become a better person in the future.

I think the only way to forgive yourself for past mistakes is too accept them, and realise that its our mistakes that make us who we are. Out mistakes take us to where we are in life, whether its a good or bad place. Accept your mistakes, learn from them, and remember our mistakes are who we are!

Past is in the past. We grow from our mistakes. So why not to forgive? We have to forgive ourselves for a better future, through accepting our positive traits that we have in the present.

The answer to this varies on a case by case basis, but the most important thing to remember is that things that happened in the past are just that: In the past. You need to remember that everyone makes mistakes, and accept the mistake as a learning experience.

the best way to forgive your past mistake is to focus on the present , if the past is a fear than just go to the root cause of your fear and face it , fight it . if its a shame than bravely accept it . if its a regret than just let it go . all you know is past was a history , tomorrow is a mystery all you have is today thats why its called present.....

To forgive yourself from past mistakes, you must first forgive your own mind. Forgiving yourself is tough, but you can do it. Start slow, forgiving yourself for smaller mistakes, then move into bigger mistakes. This may include forgiving others. Talking to people about the mistakes is always helpful, too.

Its necessary to understand that you cannot do anything about your past in your present, you cannot change them no matter how much you think about them. There's no point in carrying the load of your past mistakes and ruining your present. It's better to learn from them and avoid repeating them in future. So its better to forgive our self and not let our past affect your present.

It is a fact that anyone in this planet make mistakes. The most important thing to start with ; is to admit you made a mistake. Then you have to remember why you did it -was it because of you or because of someone else- , How this mistake affected your life ? , How did you deal with this ? & Finally How you will not make it again ? These are important question to answer. Just remember that every mistake is a chance to improve & be a better person.

You have to realize that you can't change the past. You aren't perfect, no one is, and you have to decide that you're going to leave the past in the past, learn from it, and continue on with your life.
