The Power of Forgiveness

When it comes to fulfilling life's goals and dreams, many people may not achieve them because they focus most of their attention and energy on incidents that took place in the past. It is in human nature to live in the past, the present, or the future. But we all can benefit significantly by living in the present because that is where forgiveness takes place.Forgiveness is a concept that many people have either completely downplayed or forgotten entirely. Somehow, it appears we do not know the best way to deal with it. A lot of people are lucky to have learnt how to forgive early in life. For most people, however, being unable to forgive someone leaves a wound that reopens every time an incident happens that triggers something similar to what caused the injury in the first place.For most people, forgiveness has a bad aftertaste. They associate forgiveness with weakness. When you finish reading this book, you will come to the understanding that it is the exact opposite. Forgiveness is an act of bravery, maturity, and intelligence. And most importantly, forgiveness has a direct connection to your heart. In essence, forgiveness is love.For a lot of people, the subject of forgiveness has religious connotations. Some religions have been concerned about the philosophy and practice of forgiveness since their beginnings. Many people have been helped. However, as beliefs evolve, there is always a shift from the inner truth to the outer necessity to conform to social standards and protocols. Forgiveness in these contexts has turned into a set of rules, a methodology of doctrine that no longer speaks directly to the heart. Indeed, many people have left their religious beliefs as they have come to understand that universal spirituality is replacing doctrines. This has opened the door to a worldwide agreement and alignment of what is important to every human. Forgiving others is one of the greatest tasks we can achieve in our lives as human beings. Without forgiveness, we would be stuck in the past with very little or no hope for the future. Even worse, we could be stuck with our resentment and anger for an entire lifetime.Many people are, for whatever reasons, not willing to forgive, and they take their grudge or resentment to the grave. They did not learn how to forgive, and so they were powerless to deal with their resentment, anger and bitterness towards themselves and others. The key to forgiveness is that you must be willing to learn how to forgive to reap the numerous benefits it brings. Learning to forgive is the first step, and it is critical to the entire process of forgiveness.We choose our actions, and by executing our choices, we change our reality and that of others. But our options may not always be in alignment with the choices of other people. This leads to conflicts. And it is part of human existence to experience conflicts; otherwise, we would not learn, and we would not grow. Growth in this context comes from learning how to eliminate or manage conflicts within ourselves when we experience conflicts with others. As you read this book, the conflict will be removed, both within and without, and the stage would be set for true forgiveness. The question is: are you ready?You can learn to forgive anyone. And forgiveness is easier than you may think. When you understand how an incident in your life can cause you to be resentful and angry, you can switch your behaviour almost like a light switch. So, instead of continuing in bitterness and resentment, you can start the process of forgiveness, even now.Get a copy of this book to learn how.
