To Forgive


Are you troubled and weary? Is something you are clinging to bringing you pain? Don't succumb to the temptation to place blame. For the pain you feel is not from out there. The pain you feel inside, deep within your being - a sense of betrayal, loss, or bitter despair - is a feeling you manufacture, you nurture, you hold onto. This is not to say the circumstances you have endured are not deserving of an emotional release - just don't allow that experience more than it is due. The tighter you cling to the pain (and the circumstances that triggered those feelings) the more power you give away. To be free to grow, to live and to love - you must move on, you must forgive.

Wherever ego looks, it sees conflict and division, pain and oppression. Ego's tools are blame and fear. To move from the tempest to the calm, from trial to peace, from guilt to innocence, invest the talent and energy at your disposal to recognize the world for what it is
