Forgiveness
A powerful force in
personal growth. I believe its so
powerful because its so damm hard. All
that yin yang stuff. How do you forgive
someone that wronged you. Lied to you
stole from you physically hurt you. Or
what ever else. Now there are all levels of “harm” people do. Cutting you off
while driving can’t be compared to a violent crime. Though the same process of forgiveness takes place.
Forgiveness is a decision to let go. Let go of
bitterness, resentment and or thoughts
of revenge. Stress is caused by not
forgiving which leads to health issues.
Now forgiving doesn’t mean forgetting,
the act that offended you may always be a part of your life, but
forgiveness allows you to move on and be
more positive in other areas of your life. You can forgive with out excusing
the act.
Another aspect of forgiveness is self forgiveness. The guilt
you carry around with you for a past mistake is doing more damage to you
everyday by not forgiving yourself. If
you realize the mistake you made asked for forgiveness as possible. Then move
on. You most likely did the best you could with the information and abilities you had at the
time. I say abilities because usually as
we age we acquire more wisdom. That wisdom is what makes us realize what we
could of done different in a situation, unfortunately to little too late. So
don’t carry it learn form it maybe someday you can pass that lesson on to
someone else and help them avoid the same mistake.
