Forgiving

There are things that are not easy to forget…. And not easy to forgive. I, for one have lots of things that I perceive as unforgivable. On the other hand, that doesn’t give me a peace of mind, as I feel that there is something that needs a closure. Well, I do know that no matter how grave the situation is, I need to be humble and learn to forgive, otherwise I won’t be able to move forward without issues and conflicts.

It’s hard of course, finally swallowing my pride and patching up things with the people I hate the most. But, I have to admit that I felt good when I finally solved my issues with my enemies. I finally forget…. I finally forgive.

Believe me, forgiveness seems to be impossible at first, but once you learn how to do it, everything will be smooth. And if you have issues that you want to close but don’t know how, well these are my steps that teach me how to grab the essence of forgiveness.

1. Stop being angry. Anger and even hatred are the things that trigger you to refuse to forgive. As long as this emotion lingers in you, things will never reach its conclusion.

2. Let it go. Once you start learning the essence of letting go, I guess you’ll be ready to forgive. Let go of that madness. Let go of those past mistakes. Let go of those conflicts. With this, you’ll finally get into the final stage….

3. Acceptance. This is the “last stage” that I’m talking about. Letting go and acceptance go hand-in-hand, for one can’t accept a thing without letting go of their past issues. Once you finally accepted that “it” happened, I guess you are ready to take the next step which is to forgive.

So this is it. I know it’s easier said than done, but once you have the willingness to do it, then everything will fall into place. So if you are considering to forgive someone you hate the most, I do hope that your issues will be solved. Good luck on that buddy.
