I am reminded how I needed to change my beliefs about forgiveness.
I used to believe forgiveness meant that what happened to me was okay, and the things I had done were okay.
I discovered how that was not the truth.
Resentments towards self and others are a poison for the person holding those resentments.
Forgiveness of self and others comes from accountability and responsibility for my intentions, and actions.
My forgiving others was for my own freedom.
Asking forgiveness was for their freedom.
Living out forgiveness means I can recall what happened without the trauma of the event and I can remember my part without blaming others.
Every experience is an opportunity for me to learn. Even if the lesson is that I don’t prefer that particular experience.
May each of you allow yourself the gift of forgiveness.
You are Love and Loved.
