The only way to bring on a Change, is to allow the Change.

Forgiveness.

For some, it's an action so easily applied, for others, they'd rather be firm with the decision they made and never look back. I can see how certain instances make that a reasonable route to go, but a lot of the time, we simply let our ego's get the best of us and react on feelings in the moment rather than logically weighing the pros and cons first.


Since the dawn of personal choices for my own path, I can easily look back upon mediocre fights and arguments, knowing full well that I could have been far more lenient than the punishments and attitudes I dished out. When we allow ourselves to see the world under a huge microscope, everything is a big deal!



Each time we burn bridges, cut friends or family out of our lives, refuse to bend at all, we're releasing our angers aloud and willingly letting the pain and saddness inside. And there it will stay; the longer we hold onto the dream of needing to be in the right, the further we bring ourselves down and emotionally drained of a good spirit, which eventually will kick us down physically on top of everything else.



I've tired of the festering pains, self doubt, and far to reach expectations. We're only human, and while we most certainly are capable of doing many wonderful things, it is only inevitable that we have our imperfections to equal out the balance.


There have been a few men in my life that have done me quite wrong, actions that the most sane person would shudder at and refuse acceptance to move on. I, on the other hand, have chosen to open my heart and not only see each misfortune as a lesson learned, I have completely pardoned their neglect.


We are all similar to each other in a variety of forms, but our differences make us real. It's easier to hate the bad we know, it's easier to walk away and press on hoping that we don't repeat ourselves with the next one.


But what if maybe, just maybe we can step outside the picture and walk in someone elses' shoes to see objectively? What if we welcomed less than absolute excellence from the ones in our lives so we can learn from each other?


Some of my family and friends may not understand my new open arms approach, but I am much happier for choosing to do so. I more than surely believe in a persons' strive to acknowledge and change their behaviors.


It can sometimes take the most outrageous circumstances for us to see how wrong we can actually be to turn it all around. Every single person we encounter in our lifetime serves a special purpose in our journey.


It could be anything from a boyfriend or girlfriend who takes advantage of our hospitality to teach us that not every soul can be kind and thankful, to the complete stranger who stopped to help and assist our flat tire on the freeway to remind us that despite feeling so, there are countless acts of generosity still occurring everyday to help make the tougher days easier to endure.


I'm sharing this in the hopes that I can maybe open your views of the ones in your lives, and just rest your hearts a bit. If we can just make the time to breathe and focus on what we are learning, if we can master the art of unequivocal compassion, our existence will be so much more gratifying than we would ever hope it could be, and others will follow in our example.

Be the good; the rewards are plentiful!
