Empowered Forgiveness

  [View Online]( INSPIRATION [Empowered Forgiveness]( If we can remember that our response to others is important, we can begin to realize that honesty and forgiveness go hand in hand. In life, there will always be times when we are negatively affected by the actions of another person. When this happens, we often receive an apology. More often than not, we say, “It’s all right,” or “ It’s okay.” By saying this, we are allowing, accepting, and giving permission for the behavior to happen again. When we say “thank you,” or “I accept your apology,” we are forced to sit in our feelings rather than ignore them. There are many of us who feel that it is easier to brush off how we really feel than to express our discomfort with something that has happened to us. While this may initially seem like the best thing to do, what it does is put us into an unending pattern of behavior. Since we are not honest with another person, we continue the cycle of letting them overstep our emotional limits time and time again. By doing this, we place ourselves in the position of victim. We can put an end to this karmic chain by first acknowledging to the other person that we accept their request for forgiveness; often a simple “thank you” is enough. To truly create a greater sense of harmony in our relationship, however, we need to gently, and with compassion, express our innermost concerns about what has transpired. By taking a deep breath and calling upon the deepest parts of our spirit, we can usually find the right words to let the other person know the consequences of what they have done. If we can remember that our response to others is important, we can begin to realize that trust and forgiveness go hand in hand. And when we react in a way that engenders a greater amount of honesty and candor, we will establish a more positive and empowering way of being and interacting with others.
