Forgive what you can’t forget….

Have you ever been in a situation where someone hurt you with nasty words? Someone might have made a comment on your looks which you just cannot forget.

Maybe for a long time, someone rejected you, cheated on you, or betrayed you and you are still not able to forgive them, because it seems like the pain is just too deep.

The truth of the matter is, by releasing your deepest wounds you can find inner freedom.

You might be asking yourself; Why is it worth taking the time to forgive someone? 
That first step towards forgiving someone can be really difficult, but it is really important to bring all the negative things that hold us back in life out into the open. Only then can the real healing within us begin.

The process of forgiving someone is very powerful! 
Let’s have a closer look at how unforgiveness affect us:

Unforgiveness towards someone is giving them power over your thoughts, which then impacts how you feel, your behaviour, and it then influence your relationships with people. As we can clearly see, unforgiveness towards people lead to the destruction of many aspects of our lives.

Studies have shown that the negative consequences of unforgiveness can lead to emotional pain of anger, hate, hurt, resentment, bitterness and so on. This then creates greater health issues, affecting relationships and stop us from experiencing the freedom that forgiveness enables.

Therefore, the main reason we choose to forgive someone, is to take our personal power back.
I also know that to forgive someone takes a lot of courage. 

By taking the forgiveness journey, you will face feelings of pain and suffering again and you will still have to make the choice to forgive the people that caused that in the first place. The good news is that it’s the new path to YOUR FREEDOM.

Have you ever thought that forgiveness is a gift that you give to the person who hurt you?

And most of the time you will come to the conclusion, that the person doesn’t deserve the gift of forgiveness, because they may have hurt you and they may not even be sorry about it. 
In some cases, the person that hurt us might even feel pleasure what they cased hurt. 
We may even carry hurt from someone who have already passed away or someone we have lost contact with.

But the truth is that forgiving someone else is really for YOURSELF. Forgiveness is a gift you give yourself and it sets you free from pain and anger that others have caused you.

In my experience, forgiving is the discovery to MOVE ON, MAKE PEACE with yourself and with the painful memories and to experience the beauty of life again.
