Succumbing to Forgiveness

Our mind is filled with thousands of thoughts and hopefully, most of the thoughts  are great ones. And yet, we have some thoughts that percolate to the surface of our mind that involve judgment, suspicion, cynicism, anger, blame, distrust, envy, and jealousy.

And we think that if everything would just go our way, we'd never have any of these thoughts; we'd never get angry, never to to forgive anyone, and we'd be happy. But we need to remember that in this physical world, we are always at choice and we always have the opportunity learn and grow andtransform.
Every experience - and every negative thought - gives us an opportunity to connect with our inner genius and to connect with the Divine Presence. Succumbing to forgiveness allows our hearts to open wide and to step into our authenticity and rise above our small identities and petty judgments.

We are here to experience our greatness and our magnificence. We are here to live our passion and our purpose. We are here to make a difference. And if we are so busy hiding out and living in shame or blame, then we are missing out on living, loving, and experiencing the Truth of Who We Are. One of the secrets of living a fulfilling and happy life is to forgive; it opens the heart and allows us to grow into our infinite possibilities. 

And don't forget, that includes forgiving yourself most of all!

Wisdom from Ernest Holmes
If we criticize, condemn, and censure, these are the attitudes that occupy our thinking.  They will not only reflect themselves outwardly, they will also reflect themselves inwardly.  They must, for the without is but an extension of the within, and the within is the determinor of that extension.  If we want a complete clearance of our attitudes, we must forgive everything and everyone.  Whether we like it or not, or whether we accept it or not, this is one of the great truths of life.       ~ 365 Science of Mind
