Forgiveness is for you

Forgiveness is for You!!!

I am sure we have all seen this movie more than once in our lives; and if you have not you should definitely check it out. "He Got Game" is a great movie; I know some of you are thinking that it is just a movie. I find that this was a great representation for the purpose of this blog post, which is forgiveness. Moral of the story:The absent father returns home and forced to deal with his past sins and the people he hurt; in which the son is also put in the position to either forgive his father or hold on to the past. When someone does something to hurt us, we naturally put up our guards. That is totally okay because we are human. We are allowed to feel sad, grieve or do whatever it is that helps us cope with betrayal. I am a living witness to attest, amazing things happen when you choose to forgive.

 Forgiveness challenges us to go against the grain. In some cases sometimes we don't really want to forgive others, but when you really think about it; forgiving that person is definitely serving you. I hear some people say, some things are just unforgiveable. I respect that people have their own perspective on forgiveness; but honestly, those are the images people create for themselves inside of their minds, based off what they are currently feeling about being betrayed. We control our own thoughts and if we think we can't forgive then we won't.  

We have all experienced a time in our lives where we did not want to forgive someone. I've come to a conclusion that there is a deeper meaning behind forgiveness and what it can do for you. The real question is, are you open to it? Before anything you have to first forgive yourself for beating yourself up and for ignoring the signs. Who's to say when we will get hurt? That is a theory that will always remain unpredictable. 

For myself being hurt by others forced me to have a stronger mindset, a better perspective on life,  who I am; how I respond to situations I had complete control over and what I am capable of doing about it. The worst thing you can do is  cling to old feelings or hatred towards others. I am not suggesting that a memory in the past will completely be erased from your thoughts. I am simply saying, when you find the will to forgive, it will grant you a peace of mind, a better feeling about yourself or that person etc... You have to choose to look at things and people in a way that will help you heal, grow; and make the world around you more positive. "Don't put off  tomorrow, what you can do today, because tomorrow is never promised".

Forgive her, Forgive him, forgive All......
