Written by Leonard J. Roos

Hate puts unnecessary stress on your body. It is a well-known fact, proven by numerous studies, that bitterness and hate can actually make you sick. A great number of people inrepparttar world don't really belong in a hospital, becauserepparttar 123835 root of their problem is not physical but is mental. The moment they forgive and let go of their hate they will start to get well.

There is another reason why you need to forgive. If you don't forgive you actually prevent blessings from flowing to you. The Bible says that before you pray for anything first forgive those who wronged you, and then your Father in heaven will forgive you your wrongs. So there you can see that blessings are closely connected to your forgiving others.

I have personal experience of this. I used to be very cynical about life and didn't forgive easily. Atrepparttar 123836 time I also struggled in every area of my life. Things just didn't seem to work out for me. It is as if everything that could go wrong, always went wrong. That was until somebody told me to take a look at my attitude. And when I forgave those who wronged me and changed my attitude, everything else changed. It didn't happen overnight. It took a while, but I could see and feelrepparttar 123837 difference.

Now you may ask how do you know when you've really forgiven someone? Here'srepparttar 123838 key. If after you've "forgiven" that person you still experience a negative sting whenever you think of him or her, it means you still have work to do. If however you don't have negative feelings towards that person it means you are free.

Are things not working out in your life, despite you doing allrepparttar 123839 "right" things? Is it possible that you have unforgiveness in your heart? It is certainly something to think about!

A lot Can Happen in a Year

Continued from page 1

We were trying to capture it. That was our problem. That wasrepparttar reason for our strain. Trying to capture your essence is a bit like trying to attain enlightenment.

The Zen master teachesrepparttar 123834 moment you reach for enlightenment isrepparttar 123835 very moment it slips away from you. Inrepparttar 123836 words of Zen-master-like, movie character Bagger Vance, "you've got to let it find you."

I requested we take a more playful approach to out task. I asked her to become a child again. I playfully shared with her - as we spoke onrepparttar 123837 phone - how I was actually walking about my home office in my underwear (sad but true). We laughed, we joked, we lighted up and stopped trying to get it just right.

Finally, just asrepparttar 123838 sweetest cream floats torepparttar 123839 top ofrepparttar 123840 churn,repparttar 123841 perfect words emerged to describerepparttar 123842 true essence of this beautiful soul.

The truth of her being was child-like joy, passionate exploration and inspirational wisdom. This isrepparttar 123843 beingrepparttar 123844 Creator had created when (s)he created her. This isrepparttar 123845 reality and purpose that was to shaperepparttar 123846 rest of her life, should she choose.

Inrepparttar 123847 months that followed, she continued doing as much as ever. The difference though, was her doing was no longer shaped by survival. It was now shaped by truth. It was shaped by purpose. It was shaped byrepparttar 123848 true essence of who she'd discovered herself to be.

Withrepparttar 123849 inner shift complete,repparttar 123850 shift in her outer reality began shortly thereafter. She began taking more time for herself to play and relax. She aggressively cleared away many ofrepparttar 123851 energy drains she lived with for so long. Her health gradually improved. Her relationships took on a new level of richness and fulfillment.

She began to senserepparttar 123852 universe was requesting a greater expression of her passion and talent. I followed her intuition and suggested that, in fact,repparttar 123853 world was patiently waiting for her to spread her wings as far as she dare spread them.

Together, we formulated a plan to transition from her current career into a career where she could spread her wings wider than she had spread them before. We talked ofrepparttar 123854 books she would write, music she'd record andrepparttar 123855 website I am building for her.

We discussed marketing strategy, taglines and services she would offer. We spoke of allrepparttar 123856 things she's currently focusing her energy upon as you read these words.

I could go on, but it's enough to say it was an incredible year for both of us. I learned as much from her, if not more, than she did from me.

Most importantly, I learned my clients' success is more dependent onrepparttar 123857 responsibility THEY assume for their life thanrepparttar 123858 responsibility I assume for their life. Its reallyrepparttar 123859 only way coaching works.

Said another way . . .

It's Your Life! Make it Great.
