Have high standard

Tom:  (looking down.  A bit depressed)

Jennifer:  (looking at Tom) 
                Are you ok?

Tom:  I don't feel well

Jennifer:  What happen?

Tom:  My wife was helping my daughter last night.

Jennifer:   What happen?

Tom:  My wife was giving my daughter her recommendation on one home work assignment.

Jennifer:   Sounds good, what happen

Tom:  (look down)  I don't know... I was thinking another idea for my daughter and 
          I told my daughter that your mom's idea is ridiculous but my idea is the way to go.

Jennifer:   oh, no

Tom:  my wife wasn't happy.  actually she was mad.  

Jennifer:   If I were her, I'd be mad, too.

Tom:  I apologized to my wife and my wife accept the apology.
          But somehow, I still feel bad about my behavior.

Jennifer:   Calm down.  

Jennifer: (pause for a second)

Jennifer:   If I were you. I am going to tell myself that "I am willing to forgive"

Tom:  Ok.  I'll give it a try.

We have high standard for ourselves.
Sometimes, when we don't meet the standard, we feel bad.

I think the best way to tell yourself that you are not going to do it again and forgive yourself for what you did.

---

I am willing to forgive.

I love you
I am sorry
Please forgive me
Thank you

---

May you be happy
May you be healthy
May you live with ease
May you be safe
