Life


Most of us take our life on this planet for granted. When something drastic happens, it  forces us to re-evaluate the reason we are here and why we do what we do. Calamities, illness and death are the greatest teachers and awakeners. They shake us up and take us out of our comfort zone and illusion of separation. Our struggles and hardships give us opportunities to grow and realize that life is a temporary gift for us to cherish, and be grateful for. Unfortunately, because we are slow in learning this lesson, existence throws more challenges our way to help us wake up and re-evaluate the way we live our life.

Forgiveness


No matter how much pain someone has caused  you, forgiving them is an essential part to letting go. Forgiveness doesn’t not mean you accept or condone their actions or that you agree with that persons behaviour, but rather that you are no longer allowing that person’s actions to emotionally cause you pain and suffering. Forgiveness can be done while still separating yourself from that person physically as well. There is no stronger action you can provide yourself. To forgive someone for hurting you allow you to finally let go of the pain and the hurt they caused you. You cannot overcome pain and anger with more pain and anger, but only by compassion and goodness. Forgiveness will essentially free you. - T. Young
