I heard something in a podcast today that made so much sense to me. It was an “ah-ha!” moment for sure!! Ok, we all know we must forgive those who have done us wrong, right? We know that holding onto spite, only destroys YOU. It’s like the old saying goes, “Resentment is like taking poison and waiting for the other person to die”.
Yet, forgiveness seems to be one of those things that just doesn't come easily for some.
Understanding that each and every person is always doing their very best for the level of consciousness they are at is a HUGE game changer!!!! If someone treated you poorly, it is because they were treated poorly. If someone stole from you, it is because that is what they were taught to do. So rather than hating that person, try to have a level of compassion for them. And forgive them. We all know an eye for an eye, leaves the whole world blind. So holding onto resentment or seeking revenge, will not fix ANYTHING! In fact, it keeps that negative energy in your own energy field until you clear it. Therefore, you WILL keep attracting more of those types of situations into your life!
It’s unhealthy for you, and it’s unhealthy for the collective consciousness. It's only when we can start acting from a place of love, rather than hate, that we heal this planet.
Today, try to think of anyone that you are still holding resentment for. Try to have compassion for what they must have gone through in order for them to treat another that way.
And then… choose to be the one who breaks the cycle!!!
