The Art of ForgivingWritten by Rick Yost
Continued from page 1
The best way i've found to deal with forgiving and truly forgiving so that it's not a continual sore in my heart is understanding. This isn't always easy, but if you can learn to understand why it happened, how it happened, why that person might of done what they did. Then that sore can heal, forgiving is easier. Our physical and emotional states will be stronger and healthier! We can still protect ourselves by not sticking our necks back into noose for future hurts, but to be healthy you must forgive. And it's not easy, sometimes we don't even want to forgive. But who's continueing pain now? Please try to understand that person or what might have being going on in their life at time they hurt you. You deserve best life you can make for yourself. You are a unique individual, don't waste your limited moments in pain or despair. Let it go! I use some Biblical quotes to keep me guided. You don't have to be religious to use positiveness of word, so don't overlook power of Bible for posive thinking! Try Matt.6:33 , Psalm 55:22 , Philippians 4:6-7 , 2 Timothy 1:7

2. You don't know you don't know. This is adolescence; (and for some, well into twenties!) that bittersweet time when we think we know it all. When nobody can tell us what to do. We're bigger than God; we're invincible and think we've got it all figured out. 3. You know you don't know. This is adulthood; your thirties, forties and fifties. When you've been seasoned enough by life and you begin to get humble; when you're comfortable admitting your limitations and actually begin to see gift in them. You start to relax here and can enjoy grand mystery of life. 4. You know "I don't know" is ALL you need to know. This final stage when life gets peaceful. When undefined-ness of each moment carries you to exactly where you need and want to be. It's realization that emptiness is space of all creation. It's end of confusion. It's surrender. That night at dinner in I found something incredibly reassuring about knowing you're where you belong in evolutionary scheme of things. I was about to tie myself into a pretzel thinking I should be something I'm not. When I realized that, I felt a huge wave of relief. I experienced perfection and beauty of each delicious stage along path including one I'm in. The awareness was like dessert in desert. I shared my excitement with them about still wanting to identify myself. I expressed my passion about making my mark on world. Sitting around table, in warm glow of their wise, nurturing attention they listened to me and I felt precious and loved for exactly who I am. Just as it should be. It's YOUR life...imagine possibilities!
