Thoughts on Forgiving

Thoughts on Forgiving

This morning I was reviewing the comments made to my Blogs and I noticed something very interesting.  Every Blog except the blog post on “What is Forgiveness” had comments.  Many of the Blogs had a significant number of comments.

This observation made me wonder why.  Is it because we find it hard to forgive?  Is it because we do not understand the importance of forgiveness in our life?

Forgiving is one of the most profound and powerful things we can do.  It is life changing.  It can relieve us from carrying an unbearable burden.  It can free us to be in the now.  It can remove the filters of illusion from our sight and allow us clear vision.  It is a significant tool to transforming our lives.  It frees us to experience the joy that is in our life.  It increases our awareness of our many blessings. It is special because it simultaneous benefits us when we give to another.  Forgiving ourselves is one of the keys to living a joyful and fulfilling life.  

It is not easy to forgive, but when you do so the reward far outweighs the effort.

So… Since no one had commented on this blog post since I wrote it in June I decided to write an article on Forgivess: The Key to Freedom and Happiness.

  1. You could be right. It’s not always simple seeing what the end result might be though and it’s very easy to lose your way.

  2. In the grand scheme of things you receive an A+ just for effort and hard work. The text is definitely rather powerful which is most likely the reason why I am taking an effort to comment. I do not make it a regular habit of doing that. Next, even though I can certainly notice a jumps in reasoning you come up with, I am not necessarily sure of how you seem to unite the ideas which inturn help to make the actual conclusion. For now I will, no doubt subscribe to your issue however wish in the foreseeable future you link the dots better.

  3. At the end of the day, every individual decides whether health is that important to them. Of those, not many will have the strength and the will to be able to actually do anything about it. We can talk about it forever, but it’s the individual’s capability to carry these things out that will count, not the actual event itself.

  4. I guess you will want to add a twitter button to your website. I just marked down the blog, but I had to complete it by hand. Just my 2 cents.

    1. Aubrie,

      Thank you for your comment.

      We recently added the ability to use Social Networking buttons on GG’s site (through the use of a WordPress plugin called Sexy Bookmarks.) If you are viewing all of her blog or article posts on one summary page just click on the blog or article title and it will take you to the actual blog or article post web page.

      From there all you have to do is go to the bottom of the post and you will see the words “Share The Knowledge” and a line of social networking buttons (for Facebook, Twitter, Digg, LinkedIn, Delicious, StumbleUpon, Reddit, Google Bookmarks) and the ability to print or email the post link to a friend. Just hover your cursor over the social site you want to post to and the rest is automatic and very simple.

      Thanks for asking and keep posting comments, Genevieve loves to hear from everyone!

  5. I love your site, I visit all the time and I must say you have good writing skills. Please forgive me for just blurting it out.

  6. “Love is a force more formidable than any other. It is invisible – it cannot be seen or measured, yet it is powerful enough to transform you in a moment, and offer you more joy than any material possession could.” ~ Barbara de Angelis

    1. Henry thank you for your kind comment. If you type forgiveness into the search bar in the right column you will get other posts where I have discussed forgiveness. It’s a topic that comes up often. If you want something more comprehensive that will guide you through a process of self-forgiveness you can also check out my new How To Forgive Yourself visualization available on my website or iTunes or Amazon. https://genevievegerard.com/products-and-events/how-to-forgive-yourself.
