The Beauty of Forgiveness
By Sharon C. Jenkins

Fire crackers shooting, pistols firing, and sweethearts kissing marks the beginning of a fruitful new year. It’s a time where old things must be put away and embracing the new is critical to your having a prosperous year. Unforgiveness robs us of the power we need to build a solid foundation at the beginning of the year for success. It cripples our thought processes and burdens our hearts stifling our creativity and giving us a lackluster finish.

We often allow unforgiveness to remain because our futile need for revenge speaks louder than common sense. The person, who we haven’t forgiven, has moved on and perhaps even forgotten the episode that upset our world. Discontent bruises our fragile egos because we are no longer in “charge” of our destiny and we so desperately want to annihilate the person that committed the terrible atrocity against us that sprung us out of the control seat.

Guilty, guilty, guilty … are the words that convict us. Lost between what is and what should be, we reach for the remnants of a relationship gone bad to justify our anger and pain, by re-living the situation over and over again.

Holding onto unforgiveness takes a lot of energy my friend- energy that you could be using to build something that will generate a more positive outcome. Letting go quickly of a bad situation is as much for you as it is for the other person. Forgiveness is the key to a relational second chance, with yourself and with others. It allows you the opportunity to put an end to your grieving process and empowers you to move forward into a more positive position. In this place you have the energy to build, create, love, invent, pursue, but most importantly heal. If you do it right, you will inspire others to do likewise. If you do it well, you can write a book about it. If you purpose to do it often, you will most likely live longer and prosper.

Examine yourself to see if there is any unresolved bitterness or animosity that you may be holding onto towards someone or something and run from it like it’s the Swine Flu. You deserve to take the “best” you into 2011. As my grandmother use to say, “Let bygones be bygones” and move victoriously into your New Year ready, willing, and able to do anything you set your heart to do. That’s the beauty of forgiveness.
