Forgiveness Is Food For The Soul

By:


Hatred and anger are such a waste of energy. These toxic emotions create stress, ill will and put so much negativity into the world when the focus should be on peace and calm. When there is conflict in our lives, it is difficult to concentrate and perform our daily activities. Our health suffers. Without realising, those closest to us are affected as negativity permeates we touch or associate with.

Often when there is bad blood with someone, just the thought of their name can create stress in your body. Relationships are such an important part of day to day living. It is not disputed that when someone causes you pain, it is only natural that the first reaction is to lash out and hurt them. That person could also be having a tough time of life and the closest person is often the target. Often words that are spoken are done in the heat of the moment. Once spoken, it is difficult to retract words that are spiteful and unkind. An email or SMS that is sent in haste in anger is then out there forever. Too late you cant change what has been said. It cannot be taken back or revoked.

Being able to forgive and move on is not always the easiest task to do. Accepting that someone who has wronged you wants to say sorry, it is equally important to allow that person that opportunity. How much courage and strength has it taken to be able to front up, knowing that a possible rejection could be likely?

Saying sorry can be laced with so many hidden agendas if it does not come from the heart. When you forgive someone who has caused you pain and suffering, hurt and anguish, a door opens in your heart that allows you to receive the apology offered and it must be received with good grace.

Notice how good it feels when the healing of the relationship has taken place. The stress, agitation, anger and het up feelings that go with anger are replaced with a calmness and tranquillity.

The ability to both forgive and say sorry require no more than going into your heart and understanding that goes around usually comes around. If you can forgive and say sorry, the chances are that other people will also do the same for you.
