Some people find one of the hardest things to do is to forgive someone who has done us some wrong. Here are some of the benefits that forgiveness brings to our lives. Many of us have been or may well be hurt at some point in our lives. In todays world nobody is perfect and it is very rare for someone to go through life not having felt the deep pain of being wronged. From something as hurtful as a marriage breakdown, to not getting an invite to the party of the year, these feelings are now part of our everyday lives. Hurt and how do I deal with it? Everytime we are wronged we ask many different questions. What will I do know? How will this impact on my future? Forgiving can be very hard and it is sometimes better to think of what the consequences of not forgiving would be. What happens when we don't forgive? Often our desire not to forgive is based on a belief that to forgive is to some how let the person of the hook .How could we forgive a child abuser, Hitler or any other person that commits a hideous crime. Yet this is based on a lack of understanding of what forgiving really is. To forgive or not to forgive relates to an internal choice of what you choose to hold on to in your own thoughts and feelings. The dangers of not letting go of the past. If you cannot forgive then you will only hold on to those self-harming feelings of bitterness, anger and betrayal. I say self-harming because that is exactly what these feelings can be when you hold on to them long after the original event. They can hold you back from moving on and ultimately will just leave you feeling miserable day in day out. A real event. One of my clients told me once about what she did when she discovered that her husband was leaving her for a younger woman. They had been married 30 years and although it brought her much sadness rather than try to punish her husband for what he was doing, she told him honestly that she wanted him to be happy. An incredibly hard thing to do and it was certainly not for her husbands benefit. It was for her own as she'd rather not spend years of misery dwelling on what had happened. She decided she did not want to be left with a bitter heart because of what he had done and so through her love for her spiritual self she realised the best way forward was to forgive. Understanding our affects on others. Being forgiving is also about us realising the fact that we too have hurt people. It may be you that is hurt right now but looking back to the past you will discover that you may have disappointed or let someone down too. In forgiving other people you are allowing yourself to forgive yourself! This can be said as more often than not you will judge others as you will judge yourself. The power of an open heart Although being forgiving may seem hard, you can be assured being unforgiving takes a lot more time, effort, energy and inevitably leaves us with nothing. So when you are faced with deep and painful hurt, look deep in your heart and make a choice to forgive, to let go, to embrace and welcome the liberating power of forgiveness in your heart, mind and soul.
