My Thoughts on Forgiveness...

Forgiveness is an act of kindness that we may extend to ourselves or another. Yet it may be one of the hardest lessons we have to learn, especially when it comes to matters of the heart. It requires great strength, understanding, compassion and patience. It is a state of complete acceptance of ‘what is’ and transmutation of any previous judgments or fears.

It is also the transcendence of any self-judgment through forgiveness for oneself. We are all here to learn forgiveness. To do so, there has to be something within our lives to forgive and this is not always easy. But to truly forgive another, we have to forgive ourselves. For forgiveness is not about freeing us from being judged, it’s about freeing the judgment from us so that we can be free!
