We all signed up for this journey of human experience based upon bringing our predetermined gifts into awareness - meaning to be shared with everyone. If you have someone in your life that needs forgiveness due to past mistakes, maybe it's time for you to experience the power of love for it forgives all mistakes.
Everyone in your life is a gift to be cherished; therefore, don't waste your life holding grudges caused by egos manipulation of your higher self. Let peace be present in every moment and understand that desperate people sometimes do dysfunctional things. We don't always know what's going on in someone's life situation. If you can bring yourself to understand that everyone is doing their best from their current state of consciousness it may help you to forgive them or yourself for trespasses against others.
We have all had someone in our life which we believe has caused us to feel emotional pain. It may have been something they did or simply not doing what was promised; whatever it was, we experienced the emotion of disappointment or pain due to something deeply personal. It seems totally acceptable to most people to carry that emotional pain with them for an extended period of time. The problem with doing that is it continues to manifest as a deep rooted fear of being hurt or disappointed again. And, the more we focus on the past negative situation the more we give power to the dysfunctional mistake. This typically lowers our own personal energy vibration, thus, holding us prisoner to egos need for more negative emotions and stories.
If you have someone in your life that you love dearly, but are having a hard time forgiving them or yourself for some past situation, open your heart and ask yourself if you are being too hard. Many times people will anchor negative emotions into their sub-conscious and not even remember why they felt the pain in the first place. If you have someone that you have hurt in the past, maybe it's time for you to ask for their forgiveness, too.
"A Course in Miracles" states, "Every decision I make is a choice between a grievance and a miracle." The higher self will always choose love (the miracle) over fear, in fact, the higher self does not understand the word fear. Typically, a grievance stands out as fear, while a miracle is always associated with love, peace and understanding. Even when Jesus was dying on the cross, he said, "Father, forgive them for they know not what they do." He understood, at the highest level of awareness that people do dysfunctional things, usually caused by egos manipulation of truth.
When we hold toxic negative emotions over a period of time, we continue to manifest and cause more harm than whatever pain was initial felt that created it. You can choose to overpower that fear, with your natural state of peace, by offering love, forgiveness and understanding to those people (gifts) that you have brought into your life through your own energy vibration. You are the co-creator of all that is manifested around you. Never forget how powerful your thoughts influence what is brought to you each day. By harboring grievances from the past, you are only holding yourself back from increasing your own energy vibration, and it's always your own choice to grow and increase happiness or to stay stuck where you are today.
