You are always so hard on yourself.  You are always pushing yourself to do better.  You are always wishing to become more.  You are always hoping to finally “get there” so that you can give yourself a break.

The thing is you are already there.  Well, at least on the way to becoming “there”.  But, first, you have to give yourself a break sometimes in order to really, really rise to the next level.

“You cannot solve a problem from the same level of consciousness that created the problem.” — Einstein

Healing, reconciliation, and forgiveness are spiritual qualities very much needed today.  We have to go through a process, first to heal, next to re-conciliate, and then to forgive in order to move to a higher level of consciousness.  We must move past our verbal, physical and emotional wounds.  We must re-conciliate our differences with one another; not just personally, but…

“By far the strongest poison to the human spirit is the inability to forgive oneself or another person. Forgiveness is no longer an option but a necessity for healing.” — Dr. Caroline Myss

Three of the hardest words to utter, but yet three of the most powerful words to say is, “I forgive you”. Why do we find it so hard to forgive ourselves and others? Why do we hold onto pain, regrets, animosities, hatred, bitterness and…

“The only way to skip your karma is to make honest amends with those you have harmed; even if you don’t know them.” — Penna

“Release victim consciousness and embrace forgiveness.” — Dr. Caroline Myss

Why do we find it so hard to forgive?  We are never victims, but yet we make victim consciousness our comfort zone.  We always want to blame everyone else for our problems; when, we in fact,  cause our own destinies.

Release that victim consciousness that you have today.  Embrace forgiveness. We are all in this game together.  So, forgive!
