If you feel stuck in any area of your life it could very well be due to a lack of
forgiveness. Perhaps you are having trouble forgiving someone else or yourself. It
doesn't matter. Holding on to past memories or "stories" is guaranteed to tie up
your energy and block your ability to attract what you want. I struggled with
forgiveness for many years because I believed that if I forgave someone they would
not receive the "just punishment" they deserved for what they had done to me. But as
I looked at that belief I realized it was just that, a belief. In fact, it was just
an assumption and an illusion. What I learned is that the universe will always seek
balance and it will deal with that person or situation in the appropriate way, even
if it that means letting them off the hook. The outcome in their life has nothing to
do with the outcome in my life unless I choose to keep myself tied to it. If you
think about it, when you choose to forgive someone, it is nothing more than an ego
trip. When you say "I forgive you", what you are really saying is you have some sort
of hold over them. By saying "I forgive you", you decree that you are pronouncing
them "free" of your resentment. That isn't forgiveness. That's an ego trip. There
is really nothing to forgive. What we call forgiveness is simply letting go. It is
not placing judgment on other people or yourself. When you are truly conscious you
realize that nothing "bad" or "wrong" happened. You may judge it as "bad"
or "wrong", but from the view of ALL THAT IS what occurred is simply what occurred.
It's over. It's done. It's history. Because we believe something "bad" happened, we
still think of ourselves as being victimized no matter how much we try to forgive.
So we are caught up between two conflicting energies. One is to condemn and blame
and the other is to forgive. This is why we struggle with forgiveness. However, when
we are truly conscious we realize nothing "bad", "negative" or "evil" happened at
all. In fact, what happened didn't happen TO you but FOR you. It happened to help
you to awaken and grow. It was part of your life lesson to bring you to where you
are right now and to allow you to let go of your "story" of victimization. So if
you are stuck in any area of your life, take a look at your unwillingness to forgive
yourself or others and just let it go! Realize there is nothing to forgive. You just
have to release it and move on. Today will bring you a new awareness, a lesson or a
manifestation that you are making progress - IF YOU LOOK FOR IT! No matter how large
or small, please record it in your Evidence Journal. It will only take a few moments
and will AUTOMATICALLY put you in the Flow.
Truly Caring for Your Success!
