To forgive someone for something they have done to you is a difficult thing. To forgive yourself is even harder. We can write someone else off as, crazy, not like you and even push them out of our lives if we choose to, but when it is ourselves that is not an option.
Then, once we look at the situation a little bit more we may come to the inevitable conclusion anyway that we only have to forgive ourselves. When we blame others we are really blaming ourselves. I know that sounds crazy, but take a look in your life and see if it makes sense.
When we forgive someone else we are taking the restrictions off ourselves regardless of whether that person even cares about what they did to you. We can’t make them do anything they don’t want to, so if we are in pain, we have to forgive and let it go.
Even when people have really pushed us around, how frustrating is it to take hold of that idea and carry it around for years?
There is a fine line between forgiving and being too nice about being taken advantage of, this is something that every person must decide for themselves. However, like an animal (who lets out their anger immediately) it is important we speak up and let out our frustrations quickly. Don’t let things eat away at you because you were too scared to speak up.
I know the world is full of travesties, but generally, we all can accept our lot in life with confidence and peace, once we recognise that we will not be any better holding on to old hurts. Just let things be as they are. If you want to change your life, do it, but don’t let the burdens of the past dictate your future.
WE cannot let new positive things into our lives until we are ready to let go of the old negativity and be happy each day. Find reasons to smile and appreciate what you have, even if it is really small. I guarantee you that there are people who have less and are quite happy anyway.
If you can’t find a way to be happy with what you have, remember that things will change inevitably anyway.
Those who are starved of money become driven to make lots of it, so they will eventually reach their goal in this life or the next. Those who are upset at things that have happened to them, remember that these things can sometimes bring you closer to others because you mean something to them, and your focus can become so much more powerful, you could become a totally different person.
In many ways, the hardest position to be in is when you don’t know which way to go. When you have everything and you still are not happy, this can be the worst day of your life. When you have someone to help, this can be the best day of your life. When you keep your life simple this can be the best decision you ever made and when you stood up for the injustices of others around you can be the day you realise you are powerful.
I have included a video of David Icke talking about standing up to the injustices in the world and not letting the powers that be control the many into settling for situations that are unfair and not what we deserve as people.
It is a relevant video, because he points out that we have to stop bickering about each other before we can be free to help each other properly.
