Forgiveness and the impact on Success
11/23/2008 8:41:56 PM
Forgiveness is a vital piece of living a successful life.
If you are feeling angry, ask yourself if there is someone you need to forgive or maybe you need to forgive yourself. You may think that someone has committed a great injustice to you, but this is the exact situation where you need to forgive. Holding onto grudges hurts you-not the other person.
You may think that you quickly forgive people and then are suddenly confronted with the reality that you have held onto a grudge. Let this go immediately. Forgive the person. Forgive yourself. Let go and let peace rush into your heart.
I find in my own life that I am stubborn at times about forgiving people. The larger the hurt, the more stubborn I can be. Over the last few years, I have begun to realize that this only hurts me.
If you are running into roadblocks to success, examine your heart and consider if you need to forgive. I create a visualization of forgiveness that helps me truly feel that I have released the person.
I picture the person standing in a room with dozens of roses and an armful of roses. The person has tears in their eyes and asks to be forgiven. Of course my heart melts right away.
I am not saying that people need to ask for you to forgive them and I am not saying that people earn forgiveness. My mental picture merely helps me feel the feelings of forgiveness. I, then, feel light.
I talk more about this concept in my book, Keys to Living Joyfully.
My hope for you today is that you will forgive.
