Why FORGIVE?
It transforms EVERY relationship! That’s right! Just one act of forgiveness sets the famed “butterfly effect” into motion, and ALL relationships are given a positive boost (sometimes small, sometimes huge) since YOU are also giving yourself the positive boost!
It makes you feel really great!
It is excellent karma.
It changes mental focus, putting things into a more workable perspective, and sometimes triggering fits of cosmic consciousness enlightenment along with uninhibited happy-dancing!
Just goes to show you just how much transformational power you really do have!
FORGIVENESS PROMOTES LOVE
Thoughtfulness promotes love.
“Being the bigger person” promotes love.
Empathy, caring and compassion promote love.
Understanding, self and otherwise, promotes love.
Love promotes love.
Having fun, promotes love.
“Letting it go,” promotes love … and a feeling of healing.
WAYS TO PARTICIPATE IN THE GREAT FORGIVENESS:
1. Get a little card and write, “I love and forgive _________________.
Fill in the blank with the name of the person you’d most like to forgive. Read the card three times daily. FEEL the forgiveness as you read it.
2. Think: FIX, NOT FAULT.
3. Go easy on the drama.
4. Repeat this Stuart-Smalley-sounding mantra for five or ten minutes, two or three times daily: I forgive myself. My self forgives me. I forgive others, and others forgive me.
Another one: I am an electrode of love and forgiveness.
5. Remember that I sometimes project the movie of my own nonsense on the movie screens of others, and that it might be a good idea to stop it.
6. Pretend that you are truly and finally forgiven for your blunders, and that your job on Earth is to forgive everyone else for theirs. This is just a “pretend” exercise, please don’t debate me on this one. Thank you!
7. Be at peace. Relax. Breathe. Think positive thoughts. Have an ice cream. Lactose intolerant? Have a cookie!
