Why Forgiveness Seems Impossible?

Have you ever struggled to forgive someone?  You’re not alone. 

Forgiveness is no easy feat. You will feel pressure to forgive. You will be told over and over again the benefits of forgiveness, to the point you just block it out. 

Why Forgive?

That's right! What's the point of forgiving someone who has hurt you?  That won’t get you back what you lost.  That won’t undo what happened.That won’t guarantee any results.That won’t resolve everything.That won’t take away all anger or need for accountability. 

Moment of Truth

The truth is, with forgiveness, you may not always get what you want. (Read that again and let it sink in). You may have to be vulnerable, and find yourself letting go when you want to hold on. Forgiveness seems right but it also may not seem rational. 

So, how do you forgive when you don’t feel like it? 

What Forgiveness really is?

Most of us don’t really know what forgiveness even is, much less how to do it.

Whatever the circumstance, whatever the thought, your relationship to forgiveness is always about the story you have about what happened. 

It’s about what meaning you’re ascribing to their behavior. Because as painful as your thoughts are, you are wrong about the source of your suffering. 

The Real Source of your Suffering

Your current suffering isn’t because of what someone said or did to you at certain point in time. Your suffering comes from your CURRENT THOUGHT about them and what happened. 

The past does not exist, except in our minds. But those thoughts about the past can cause so much suffering, and they are fully optional. 

If you want to liberate yourself, consider forgiving the people who you think have wronged you. Consider forgiving yourself. 

Can Forgiveness Fix it all? 

The answer is it takes time to resolve feelings and overcome a negative situation. 

Healing is complicated. But forgiveness is simple. It just means that you do not allow negativity to sway your soul, your heart, your body, your mind. You stop giving away your power, and you start showing up for life the moment you forgive.
