RE: How I Achieved The #1 Reputation Ranking On Steemit And How You Can Improve Yours

"Just choose one day to let hate go, then see how it feels. If you can't let go of hate for one day then my next suggestion is get some quality counseling. Most people have sought out counseling at some point in life, so it's nothing to be ashamed of. It just means you want a better life and want something different than what you currently have. The presence of hate indicates unresolved personal conflicts." This is so important. I let go of a lot of hate when I left my toxic marriage but it took about a year. The first step was in forgiving myself for having married a man with so many red flags, but I did some mirror work and ultimately faced all of the fear, shame and self-hatred that had previously consumed my life. Thanks for this wonderful piece, @stellabelle.

I was in a similar situation. I lived in a hate-filled existence for many years. It was horrible. I treated myself bad and all those around me in a similar way. The cause of my hate was a failed relationship and terrible judgment on my part. I had a bad time forgiving myself for choosing the wrong person. I definitely am much happier now that I have forgiven myself......
