I am sorry.
Please forgive me.
Thank you.
I love you.

Hoʻoponopono is a Hawaiian practice of reconciliation and forgiveness. The Hawaiian word translates into English simply as correction, with the synonyms manage or supervise, and the antonym careless. Wikipedia

I remember many years ago watching a clip on the Miss Universe (or was it Ms World?) pagant, where the finalist had their last deciding say limited to a minute, before the winner would be announced.
She was pretty, young, very popular, and was the favorite for the title...
Question: "Have you ever made a mistake/mistakes?"
Her answer, after a slight pause...
"No."
A soft murmer from the audience...
Now, if I was that pretty one I would have said... "Yes, but we're going to run out of time if I need to give you details."
It has always been difficult for me to accept my mistakes, but never hard to acknowledge and apologise, yet it took me a long time to get-over-it.

In retrospect I saw that the main reason for wrong choices in my life was that I did not follow my gut-feel, or tried to please people.

Being human.
Accepting I am not perfect.
Forgive often.

That's all it takes...
