Blessing and releasing the past is the door to freedom.
Let's admit it, humans have definitely let us down on this earthly timeline.
We surrounded ourselves with those we felt had our back, kept us safe, and supported our intentions.
We believed the people, who were part of our lives, came from a place of good intent, loved us, and were trustworthy and honest.
Then, life unwound in the most hurtful way.
Our feelings were hurt, trust was broken, scenarios shifted in the most wrong directions, and we were left feeling violated, abandoned, humiliated, and/or physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually depleted.
Watching and/or experiencing humans hurt humans, let alone ourselves, changed our perception of this world.
Those experiences are rooted in our core and often impact how we engage this world now.
Even though that was many moons ago, we still hold it in front of us clouding our vision, creating turbulence in current relationships, and distracting our path forward.
We can't seem to easily let what happened go or move past it as it rocked us from the inside out.
They may have seemed to moved on, or not even understand the impact their choices, behavior, or words had on our world.
For us, it is almost like no time has past, no healing occurred, and we haven't changed.
We hesitate to consider rising above.
We often hold tight to mercy in anticipation that its pain will be felt by the one who hurt us.
We feel like our pardon clears their debt and we aren't going to take responsibility for igniting that.
We hesitate to empower empathy or compassion, even for ourselves, to be part of the conversation as we still feel the raw reality of what happened.
The truth is that the act of forgiveness takes place in our own mind. It really has nothing to do with the other person.
We aren't saying that it didn't matter, change us, or dramatically shift our perception of this world.
We are saying that we will no longer allow what happened to hold us hostage from the purpose that the Universe created us for.
We will work toward healing ourselves and use those lessons to create a new reality.
We are doing this for us, not them.
