Forgiveness is a Process

"Forgiveness is a prerequisite for inner peace." 


This quote comes from the late Dr. David Simon, co-founder of the Chopra Center, and it is definitely true. We cannot find inner peace when we carry the baggage of holding grudges, hatred, and venom towards another person within. 

Forgiveness is a process. It takes time. And the process starts with ourselves. 

We have to stop and recognize that our strung out emotions, thoughts, hurt, and paid were caused by our reactions to someone's deeds or words. Or to an event or situation that happened to us.

This process comes with many hurdles and obstacles. Perhaps the biggest obstacles to forgiving are the many unconscious false beliefs we have about forgiveness and what forgiveness means. Deciding how and when to forgive inevitably means uncovering and discrediting these false beliefs ingrained within.

Many people are afraid to forgive simply because somehow they feel they must remember the wrong, the hurts, and the pain they experienced in order to learn and retain the lessons from these. This is utter nonsense. You can remember the lessons without having to hang on to the wrong done to you or to constantly suffer from recalling the agony you felt at the time and since.
