Free your heart from anger. Release any feelings of resentment or blame. They have no place in your heart. When your heart is filled with kindness, there is literally no room for anger.
Forgiveness creates space for kindness. Like cleaning out a cluttered spare bedroom, the space created by kindness allows fresh air to enter the soul and enliven the mind. Inspiration, intuition and creativity flourish when grace and forgiveness open those dusty shuttered windows that have been blocking out the sunshine.
If the pain feels too deep and you’re struggling to let go, remember that you are all just children playing on a playground, acting out roles you chose before you entered this life experience.
No pain is so “real” that you are justified in holding onto it. There are many who have suffered far worse and were willing to forgive. These were the wise ones who realized their pain did not serve them. Unwilling to allow pain to hold them in servitude, they forgave the people and circumstances that hurt them, and in doing so, restored their freedom.
In this way, they learned an important secret. The kindness offered in forgiveness is not a gift you give to someone else. It is a gift you offer your own gentle spirit.
Your life was meant to be beautiful, grand and expansive. You are meant to live in freedom. Do not allow anger and resentment to steal your joy. Nothing is a worthy trade for your joy.
