Success Through Forgiveness

Do you hold forgiveness only for those who ask for it? Do you usually find most people not worthy of your forgiveness? Hoarding forgiveness will sprout in your heart as a crippled seed yielding bitter fruit. Forgiveness only has value when it is given away. Forgiveness can dissipate anger and resentment. Holding onto anger and loosing sleep while you toss and turn thinking of the wrongs done you is very unproductive.

Greet each day with a forgiving heart. Forgive even those who do not ask for forgiveness. Don't spend hours seething in anger because of some unthinking or uncaring person imagining revenge or confrontation. The offender seldom gives thought to his offense. By the act of forgiving, you are no longer consumed by unproductive thoughts. You have to give up the bitterness and be content in your soul and effective again with your fellowman. You must forgive those who criticize you unjustly.

A person who lives their life according to others is a slave. Do not be a slave. Know the difference between right and wrong and know what is right for your family. Don't let misguided opinion or unjust criticism alter your course. People who are critical of your dreams and goals simply do not understand the higher purpose to which you have been called. Forgive their lack of vision and forge ahead. Criticism is the price paid for leaping past mediocrity.

Your greatest enemy can be yourself. Every mistake, every miscalculation, every stumble has been replayed again and again in your mind. Every day wasted and every broken promise even goals never reached compound the disgust you feel for the lack of achievement in your life. This dismay has a paralyzing grip. When you disappoint yourself you respond with inaction and become more disappointed.

It is impossible to fight the enemy in your head. By forgiving yourself you erase the doubts, fears and frustrations that keep your past in the present. Do not allow your history to control your destiny. Greet every day with a forgiving spirit.

Mutual Agreement - Hi Kevin, I am so glad for you that your friendship is still intact. Is it true, that it was a giving and taking, as well as forgiving one another. We don't hear much about the subject: Forgiveness. Everybody wants to be in the 'right'. Head banging against each other. In the process people get hurt and relationship turn into enemity. What was the process you went through to salvage your relationship of so long. I understand, that you may not be able to share it publicly. That is ok. On the other hand, you may help somebody by sharing it. Kindest Regards Beat "Unlock People's Potentials!"

Re: Success - I study success intently, and would like to share: Here's two excellent and nearly identical success-formulas from a couple of the world's masters. FIRST FORMULA: 1. Passionate Desire 2. Clear, Definite Purpose 3. Committed Decision 4. Take Action In Faith (Bonus Secret Sauce: 5. Repeat Consistently) I made a video about this, but am not allowed to link it yet. Google "Ryze Success Steps" for it. Oh, and this is Napoleon Hill's (Master Of Success Laws)'s Formula. SECOND FORMULA: 1. Passionate Desire 2. Understand It Is Already Done (Faith) 3. Relax & Allow It To Unfold (Go about your life calmly) This one is courtesy of Abraham-Hicks (inspiration for the movie The Secret). Hope that helps!
Success Strategies - How to get the results you want now? Success Strategies and Action Steps I have used are: The Power of Choice Where you are at this present moment, is exactly perfect from the choices you have made. If you want to be somewhere else, you have to decide clearly what that is (your goal/outcome) and create action steps to achieve this. The Power of Focus The book "The Power of Focus" by Jack Canfield, Mark Victor Hansen and Les Hewitt, is one of my treasures in my Entrepreneur Library. If you focus on what you want versus what you do not want, your conscious and sub-conscious mind will direct attention to this. The movie, What the Bleep, Down the Rabbit Hole, explains this in detail about quantum physics and what we create in our lives. The Power of Commitment This is not about commitment to others. The first step is the commitment, your word, you make to yourself. Accountability and responsibility are additional success strategies and ingredients to creating the success, defined by you, that you want. The commitment to others reflects your integrity, your word and the team you work with. Co-workers, clients, yoru family, friends and community.
