Be Selfish, Forgive Your Enemies

balloons.jpgHave you considered forgiving your enemies simply so you can lighten your own load? While anger and resentment can weigh us down, acceptance, love and forgiveness are light as feathers, or even helium balloons, as we let them carry us.

Who have you forgiven? Did it lighten your load? Please share your stories by commenting here.

    Hi, I just started listening to you podcasts, and what I’ve listened to so far, has already started helping me - I’m making better choices already, and I’m much more conscious of my behavior.

    I listened to episode six yesterday and I was very intrigued and want to learn more about both transfats and high fructose corn syrup. Can you tell me where I can find more information especially on high fructose corn syrup, which I’ve never been aware of before.

    In Norway (where I’m from) there is (as far as I understand) no regulation yet that required food manufacturers to put transfats in the declaration, so it’s hard to know what to look for…

    Hello Renee
    This is Pamela, and I was listning to you podcast today and to my suprise you had read my comment on my. I was so suprized and then I began to cry. I relized that when someone else has read my souls gift it really makes me sound like a good person. I can not thank you enough. I was then of course listning to forgive the people who have hurt me in the past. I then relized that there was only two reason why I felt that I could not forgive them. The first reason is because I trusted them, and the second was that they were my family. I then began to think about wheather or not they were carrying around the hurt, and the negetive energy that I felt deep inside my heart every time that I thought about them. I have came to the conclusion that they probably did not. I then began to question why they had bothered me so much by their actions, and the things that they had said about me. I began to relize that it was because I feared that I had some how deserved what they had done, and I also felt that what they had said may have been true at the time. I then began to relize that I was angry at them, because I was angry at myself. Then choices that I made during that point in my life were not good decisions, but if my decisions would have been diffrent I may not be where I am at this point in my life. I have now relized that it is not only those who hurt me that I need to forgive; I need to forgive myself, and relize that we all must learn from the desicions that we make. We often suffer the consequences for our decisions so we need to learn from them rather then hating our self for these decisions. Thank you for pointing this out to me. It has helped me tremendously in my journy, and I feel as though I have lost a large amount of weight that has been dragging my heart down.

    Thank you for touching so many lives; you truly are an inspiration to me.

    Pamela
