Forgiveness

I was going through my emails and this particular point from Robin Sharma’s article really caught my attention.

“Forgive the unforgiven in your life. They did what they thought was right based on the level of their consciousness, at that stage of their personal journey. If they could have been more loving they would have been more loving” Robin Sharma

It’s a brand-new year and I guess some of us are still living in the past and carrying the person who hurt us behind our back. We are carrying “last year’s” pain into every New Year and that pain stayed within us and we wonder why we are so unhappy in the inside. We are so upset and keep on thinking about that past incident every second, causing us more anger and sadness.

The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong. – Mahatma Gandhi

By holding grudges, we are allowing negativity to control us and at the end of the day it only affects us. Being angry at someone or something does not bring any benefit to us, only cause us more pain. Holding grudges can cause pain to our heart and body.

Forgiveness is not easy, but let’s forgive for us. Let’s forgive the past bitter incidents, let’s forgive the person who has insult and hurt us, and most importantly let’s forgive ourselves for our mistakes.

If a person who has upset you, you can just forgive them with our mind and heart, we have the power to do so.

“The Universe sent you nothing but angels.” Everyone who has ever entered our lives, even those who have hurt us, is nothing more than messengers to teach us an important lesson. – Neale Donald Walsch

Below is a couple of forgiveness payer shared by Michael Bernard Beckward :

We can say this to ourselves to forgive someone:

“What you did or what you did not do cannot determine my destiny. I forgive you and set you free. I acknowledge that you are doing the best you can, and I honour you in your process of unfoldment. You are free and I am free. All is well between us. Peace is the order of the day.”

For self-forgiveness, say this:

” I sincerely apologize and I release you and me to our higher destiny. I acknowledge that I am doing the best I can. You are free and am free. All is well between us. Peace is the order of the day.”

To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover that the prisoner was you.

Let’s be kind to ourselves, let’s let go of resentments, let’s practice forgiveness. Let’s be free.
