We weren’t born to be this way. Each of us is doing the best we can.
Our moments of anger and pain are tempered by moments of joy and love. With all we’ve been through, all our experiences have concocted to bring us to exactly where we are now.
Simply considering these moments on their own, it’s reasonable to ask: “Why should I forgive?”
Because in forgiving, one finds their next step. By accepting and forgiving, one transmutes all that has happened into their next step.
The reverse is true as well. In denying forgiving, the next step is continuing where one is at. More of the same.
You see, without accepting and forgiving, one stays stuck in time and place.
Are you happily satisfied with how things are? Or are you ready to give yourself the gift of moving on to your next step?
Until next time,
Joe
