FORGIVENESS

 Being unwilling to forgive is a terrible thing to do to yourself. Bitterness is like swallowing a teaspoon of poison every day. It accumulates and harms you. It’s impossible to be healthy and free when you keep yourself bound to the past. Yes, it’s true that other may have not behave well. Sometimes we feel that if we forgive them, then we’re saying that what they did to us was okay when it is not.....and never will be.

Where Are The Answers?

The hallmark of Albert Einstein's genius was that he could figure out complex problems and equations simply by thinking about them.   Do you think you can do that?  Do you think everyone of us can do that?  

We are taught learning comes from school and reading more books.   But this idea is based on the presumption that knowledge exists outside of us.   None  of us were taught to go within to learn something or to solve a problem, yet that's where the greatest wisdom lies.  

If we all just encourage one child to foster this knowing, what a totally different world it would be.  

Benefits of Forgiveness

FORGIVENESS is good for the body and the soul.   It can lower blood pressure, heart rate; reduce depression, anxiety, and anger.   People who forgive generally have more and better relationships, feel happier and more hopeful, and score higher on just about every measure of psychological well-being.   The trouble most of us have not been trained how to do it.   It is not always easy to do and can be a process but the one who benefits the most is the one who chooses to forgive.   

Forgivness

Forgiving someone does not mean you condone their behavior. The act of forgiveness takes place in your own mind. It really has nothing to do with the other person. The reality of true forgiveness lies in setting ourselves free from holding on to the pain. It is simply an act of releasing yourself from the negative energy.             Louise Hay

Peace Is Just A Thought Away

I am a true believer that paying attention to our self-talk is vitally important for our mental and physical health.  Making the decision that internal verbal abuse is not acceptable behavior can be the first step toward finding deep inner peace.  The only thing in life that we do have control over is our thinking.  Some days it may not seem that way but with vigilance and discipline it is possible and peace will prevail.
