There is not one person that goes through life without being hurt in some way, shape or form. How often have we held onto the energy that depleted our souls of light because of the weight of being shattered or broken by the ones we loved? It's that energy that sucks us down spiraling to the infinite space in our twisted hearts. In the waiting room of the depths of our souls; hoping for the other person to relieve us of our turmoil so we can forgive the unforgivable. All to often we seek out and demand and sometimes require the other person to realize their wrong doings in order to forgive. For they must be the ones who are flawed and wrong? For they are the ones who we think are writing our story and how we perceive ourselves in weakness and victimization. They are the wrong doers who are living in an unconscious state of existence.
What if in reality the opposite is true? They may open the door to a path of anger, hatred, pain, sadness but in every experience; every situation...............we have choices to give power to it or rise above it. We have a choice to let the darkness take over our light or the choice to discover our strengths and not be afraid to let go. To move on and live in courage; to live truthfully in the mist of storms swarming inside our being.
If we give power to the other, we give away our divine light within us. We diminish the God given, inherent Love birthed to us running through our veins connecting all our parts , because without it, we don't exist we are of heaven and earth and all things God.
We must not think of ourselves as weak in spirit or believe that the key to being whole is to forgive the other person. That is a fallacy in disguise. There is nothing more important than one's own soul in this world. We are the gift of light and love. To forgive yourself is to Love yourself no matter what the situation.
From the song Lyrics "Twisted" - Nahko And Medicine For The People:
I need help
You are no exception, you've got to love yourself
How could this happen?
Forgive yourself
Nobody can do that just me and myself
But I got twisted
Oh, I got twisted
The song tells of someone's story of not forgiving oneself and often leads down a dark, self destructive path where you seize to become the narrator of your story. You have given your spirit, your power to someone ,to experiences undeserving. No one is immune from being on the receiving end of being hurt or pain.
It is courage and strength to love yourself through it. To have mercy and compassion to acknowledge the flaws within you that allowed the chaos to consume you and take over.
If we never forgive ourselves, love and light can never flow or grow from within us. We can never share our inner beauty to the others around us who are deserving and who would nurture our souls; because we are beautiful...........even though in the middle of the storm we can't see the truth.
The truth is Forgiveness is a gift to oneself. To begin the healing process of putting yourself back together when things fall apart. It puts out the flames that want to kill the light within and sheds light on the most beautiful parts of who you are. Forgiveness is not letting weakness in but rather courage to take hold of your story and guiding you in the direction of being authentic and real with yourself.
Anger, pain and Love cannot be in the same space at the same time. It is one or the other. If we let the darkness of not Forgiving ourselves. Not loving ourselves over shadows our being. We will forever seek the forgiveness that will never heal us completely from the person who may never be able to give us what is needed for healing. So then ultimately in the end we have to find it within ourselves to start the journey of forgiveness.
From the Lyrics "Fear is Not My Future" - Maverick City Music
"Hello Peace, Hello Joy, Hello Love, Hello Strength, Hello Hope, ..............It's a new Horizon"
Let Forgiveness work it's magic and take you on your journey to live in all the gifts that this world has to offer. Don't let the energy of not Forgiving take a minute of your life away for life is precious and short. Be the Love that is inside you. Let go. Make peace. Move on.
The world needs you and your beauty and that can only be done through letting go. Forgive yourself always.
Be Bold. Be Brave. Be Beautiful..............Always
