I chose to forgive
Subtittle
Hi,
Everybody talks about forgiveness and what a gift it is to those who practice it. Now, how easy can it be to forgive?
I believe it is all relative. It depends on what and who you are forgiving and yet it all starts with a choice. Regardless of who and what you are forgiving, it requires love, commitment and courage.
The moment I saw the power of forgiveness in my own life, I chose to go for it without knowing what it would look like. It didn’t take a few minutes, and maybe it’s an ongoing process, and I’m open to that because, why would you want to rush such a beautiful and liberating experience anyway? I compare it to rushing the birth of a baby.
In perfect timing you allow, you let go, you receive, you open up AND it all starts with a choice. Choosing love and courage to forgive. Your heart is yearning for it.
I sat down and took the courage to invite myself to have a clearing conversation. A conversation that went deep down into the wounds, the past experiences, the events, the ups and downs, revealing so much that I just hadn’t seen. I realized I had abandoned myself for so long.
The moment when honesty, love and courage took over my heart and freely allowed the words to express all the feelings inside. I realized a part of me was “waiting” for this moment. I was waiting on myself to forgive so I could be free.
I wrote all the things I forgive myself for and intentionally let go.
You know what? I realized that the pain was too strong, the cost too high and a life without forgiveness is not a life worth living.
I’m committed to growth, expansion, impact, love and peace and so I get to pay the prices associated with that. This is why, my vision is greater, it’s not about me, it’s about you, it’s about the world that is hurting and in need of love and forgiveness.
I chose to take the step with myself and trust that the ripple will be powerful enough to impact others.
I challenge you, to be brave, courageous and generous to forgive. It’s truly the greatest gift you can give yourself.
Freedom is on the other side of it ✨
