Forgiveness is the Path to True Bliss
Laura Lester Fournier - Author, Speaker
Embracing the path of "forgiveness" is the most important thing we can do to attain true and lasting happiness. When we are living in a state of non-forgiveness, we continually fill ourselves with anxiety, resentment, and anger. These emotions invade every cell in our mind and every corner of our heart; living in this manner will block the path to true happiness at every turn. Lack of forgiveness is literally killing us. Even if we do not experience a physical death, we certainly experience a spiritual death when we are participating in lives without forgiveness as the central and enduring practice we return to.
No matter what has happened in our lives, we have the power to forgive. Those of us, who may have been abused, neglected, forgotten, hurt, damaged or rejected, can forgive; we are strong enough to do this. If you have done or said things to another and caused them pain, then forgiveness is essential. Forgiving oneself is of paramount importance in order to be successful in attaining lasting happiness. Because if we do not forgive ourselves, we become paralyzed with self-loathing and trapped in a pattern of mistrust; we feel we cannot trust ourselves and therefore will never trust anyone else either. Forgiveness is the key to attaining true happiness.
Falling in and out of forgiving behavior is all too easy in our fast-paced society. For this reason we need reminders to aid us in our efforts. We can use every day sights and sounds in order to assist us in returning to our breath, our calm, and our truly forgiving inner nature. Occurrences such as church bells, ringing phones, street lights and clock chimes can serve as reminders to slow-down, breathe, and "take stock" in our commitment to practice forgiveness. I often refer to driving the car as being one of our most common modern day challenges when it comes to practicing forgiveness. It may seem trite, but start paying attention to how often you react to other drivers with tension and anger. When this happens, notice it, acknowledge it, find out what it can teach you, and then let it go. When we do this often enough in our cars, we will eventually get better at doing it with more consistency in our homes.
Healing old wounds and new, addressing each issue with our earnest attention and a sincere effort to bring about change will make a profound difference in how we feel about our lives. Each act of forgiveness has the potential to bring us closer to peace on earth and bliss within. When we lead a forgiving lifestyle, we are truly free. Forgiveness allows us to live "lightly" and with more joy. When we exchange the old pattern of being non-forgiving with one of unconditional forgiveness, we find there is increased energy available to us. We radiate with true happiness when we engage with the energy of forgiveness on a daily basis. People will begin to ask you what you are doing to appear so blissful.
Forgiveness holds the answer to a happy future, so embrace it with an open heart. Building a future, more importantly, residing in the present moment "grounded in forgiveness" is an imperative practice for our future, and for the future of our children. Start today by being forgiving……..Be Forgiveness……. and allow bliss to take up residence in your heart.
"With true spiritual presence in our hearts and minds, all things are possible."
