LETTING YOUR SPIRIT REST


How many times have you felt betrayed or treated unfairly? No matter what you do you never feel you are good enough, smart or beautiful. People seem not to like you for one reason or another.

That is a time when you need to have forgiveness. We are all human and have been guilty at times of speaking ill will on someone. Holding on to that anger or grudge only holds your spirit hostage.

When you are deciding whether or not to hold on to the “drama” in your life, you have to forgive. People think that forgiving a person whom you feel have wronged you gives them power over you. It is just the opposite. It allows you to be at peace with yourself and the decision you have made to move on pass the hurt feelings.

Think about it. If a person hurts your feelings, they continue to go on as if nothing ever happened. If you continue to hold on to that, you are the one that becomes bitter, depressed and angry. By forgiving, you give yourself the power to move about in your day. That person that tried so hard to ruin your spirit ends up the one that is left with feelings of anger and bitterness. You know the old transference of energy thing!

Forgiveness is never about giving satisfaction to the person or thing that has a hold on you; it is solely for you. So I challenge each of you to take a mental check of someone or something that has a hold of you and release it today. Of course, we must start out small but we must build up.

Remember it takes way more energy to be angry than it does to forgive, but forgiveness lets your spirit rest.

Much Love
