You may feel driven today to forgive the people who have hurt or harmed you over the course of your life. Forgiveness may offer an opportunity to reestablish damaged relationships, or it may help you clear your soul of old wounds. Because you may be in an unconditionally loving mood, you may be feeling kindly toward those you have had disagreements with in the past or and more apt to forgive past conflicts. If you are unsure of how to begin, consider making a list of all the individuals whom you feel resentful toward because of old grievances. Forgiving each in your heart will likely help you step out onto the path of healing. You may feel more comfortable offering forgiveness in your soul today than actually confronting hurtful people from your past.
The simple act of forgiving those who have wronged you can repair the rift that developed between you and free you from the resentment in your heart. The pain we carry builds over time, becoming a burden that weighs heavily on our souls and preventing us from relating to others in a healthy way. Forgiveness is a means of dropping this burden of harmful thoughts and replacing it with equanimity and compassion. Once you have given the gift of your forgiveness, you are free to build a new relationship that is distinct from what was damaged or to move forward unimpeded by past wrongdoings. Forgiveness is a buoy that lifts the spirit and clears the mind. In forgiving others today, you will be able to heal yourself and free yourself from the weight of your grudges.
