When we forgive ourselves and others, we free ourselves.

Forgiveness = Freedom

Personal freedom.

The problem is that many people don't understand how to forgive.

They think it's saying "Oh yeah! It's all good you did those horrible things!"

No.

Forgiveness is a practice that frees our souls from constant torment, resentment, guilt, and even shame.

Understand that everything is energy.

If we are putting all of our ENERGY into feelings of resentment, guilt, shame, etc.

It's not actually benefiting us and where we are going.

It's really friggin hard to build this dream of yours when you are filled with those negative emotions.

So how do we actually begin to forgive?

One word...

Compassion.

Forgiveness begins with compassion.

Understand that everybody is in their own little world.

Every person you see has their own planet between their ears and what goes on inside that little planet is up to them.

Some people act out unskillfully because they haven't done enough of the inner work to process experiences.

Remember that every act is either a call for love or an expression of love, regardless of how unskillful it may appear.

Knowing this helps us feel more compassion for others.

It doesn't mean we keep negative people in our lives; even if they are close to us or "family".

It means feeling compassion because some people aren't willing to change.

By all means, leave no stone unturned.

But do know that once you've done that, if nothing has changed, it may be time to cut away.

Forgiveness is a practice that frees us from ourselves.

In order to build your dream and live a freer and fuller life, you will need to learn this practice.

Forgiveness begins with compassion.
