Forgiveness

i’m slowly learning that forgiveness and letting go is the answer to almost everything we do. When we we're not flowing freely in the present moment, it's usually because we're holding on to a past or future one. As humans we sometimes find it difficult to release this negative emotion like regret, sadness, hurt, fear, guilt, blame, anger or whatever it is. It's not particularly always a bad thing, because it means we feel. And that's a truely beautiful thing. I think it's why we're here. But the challenge is balance. To know it's okay to feel, to experience these emotions, but to know when to release them. Suffering is the root of holding on too long. Contrary to popular believe, forgiveness actually has nothing to do with another person or condoning their behaviour. It's a inward practice. One of letting go to serve your own joy and peace. And understanding that each person is on their own path and respecting that fully. Forgiveness is the the key to cultivating self-love and living a life that truly honors your highest good. So love both your neighbours and your enemies. Do good to those who mistreat you. Openly forgive those who hurt you. Not for them, but for you. Every day we can put this into practice. To love and let go ❤️
