Forgiveness is about willingly letting go of past hurts so that we are able to live a happier life in the present. Forgiveness is one of the hardest things for us to do. It is easier said than done, especially when something has caused us great pain or hurt in our lives. We have all experienced events in our lives that have and will continue to affect us in a negative way if we allow it. These hurts cause us to have feelings such as sadness, confusion, guilt, bitterness and anger and can lead us possibly to wanting to seek revenge. The more that we dwell on these hurts the more powerful and destructive they become. They can poison our lives. They can also consume a lot of our focus and energy; focus and energy which could be better directed to more important things in our life that will bring us joy and happiness.

Back in April I attended the James Redfield seminar on his Celestine Prophecy books and underlying philosophies. James led us through the story of his life and how he came to be where he is now, his psychology background with troubled kids was fascinating in its own right, however it was his in-depth discussion on the insights that we were all there for. And he did not let us down. Although I’d read the books before it wasn’t until I heard him speak his words that I could truly understand their meanings and the bigger picture of their implications. In addition to the actual insights (below), he raised some very interesting points: What is your truth to tell? If it’s not immediately obvious, make it up. It will evolve to the truth. Ask yourself why you have gone through all of your life’s preparations (look at your friends, family, teachers, jobs, experiences). Wherever you are now is perfect… The way you know you’re on the right path is...
