Wash your hands...

So when you grow up, you are constantly told to wash your hands. Whether it be from food you were eating, or going to the bathroom, or playing outside. You always had to "Wash your hands" to get rid of the dirt and germs. Well, I am going to use that as my metaphor today as I am sure many have used before for all different reasons like, washing your hands of the bad karma or washing your hands of toxic people in your life, or washing your hands of anything and everything...

There has not been many things that I have washed my hands of, since I, to tell you the truth don't really like to "get rid" of anything. I, of course, wash my real hands, but have never metaphorically washed my hands. I believe in second chances. Realizing that everyone needs that second chance, a new beginning to start over. We all make mistakes, and we all do things we wished we hadn't (if you believe you have never done that, then hooray for you - *clap clap clap* - you, my dear are in denial).

I think it is such a gift to give to someone - a second chance. Whether they know it or not, it really doesn't matter. It is also a gift to give yourself. The gift of forgiveness. It is very affordable to give a gift like this, no money down and no interest either. All you have to do is use your heart and mind... It's as simple as that. I suggest trying it some time, you never know, you may actually feel good after "giving" it.

We all need a second chance sometimes.

What second chances have you given? If you had the opportunity to do it all over again, would you? and if not why?

Believe in the power of forgiveness, it rarely steers you in the wrong direction as long as you do it without wanting anything in return.
