Forgiveness Precedes Releasing & Moving Forward

How many of us hold on to experiences from our past and stuff it deep down hoping it never resurfaces? How many of us have attempted to release those unwanted feelings and images that keep us stuck? I've learned that repressing my unwanted and negative feelings from past experiences has held me back and kept me at a place where I was wanting to leave behind. Once I began the process of forgiving myself and others is when I noticed a "shift" in my perceptions, as well as progress in my business.

I had been holding onto resentment and disappointment for too long and worse, supressing those feelings! As a result, I kept repeating the same old thoughts and producing the same old results, which was like running on a treadmill and going nowhere. However, what I also realized was that I had to go through these uncomfortable feelings and situations in order to finally learn that it was ALL PART OF THE PLAN!

I realized that I had actually gained so much from those experiences, even though at the time I couldn't understand why it was happening. I had fallen into the "drama" and was blinded to the "silver-lining" that existed. At the time, I was consumed by "being right" and "how could that person do that?!!!" I was in the "victim" mode and felt sorry for myself which totally took away my power and ability to move foward and make progress.

Now, I am continuing to remind myself to be grateful for what has happened because that experience has lead me to my Path! I am experiencing progress in my health and business! I am more Joyful and at Peace! I thank God for being patient with me and for allowing me to learn lessons and grow every moment.

So, my hope is that others will read this blog and ask themselves, "What feelings and experiences am I holding onto that are keeping me stuck?" Search within yourSelf and ask yourSelf what is the Higher Purpose in all of this "chaos"? I truly believe that EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON." Find the silver-lining surrounding the clouds, and you will be able to rise above the chaos that occurs in our lives. We all have chaos, it's how we choose to perceive and deal with it is what makes the difference between winners and strugglers.

Make your day an amazing day and SHINE YOUR LIGHT!
