"With forgiveness, your victim identity dissolves, and your true power emerges - the power of presence. Instead of blaming the darkness you bring in the light."
-Eckhart Tolle

Who can you forgive today? Remember that forgiveness often has nothing to do with the other person--it's not about letting them off the hook or allowing for certain behaviors to continue. Stand up for yourself for sure; make changes to protect your sacred space. But this kind of forgiveness is simply about freeing yourself. Releasing. Letting. Shit. Go. for the sake of your sanity and internal peace.

I was feeling oddly crunchy the past few days until I realized, just this morning thanks to the quote above sent out via The Daily Love, that I had lingering unforgiving thoughts towards 2 people in particular. What the hell was the sense in holding on to them? What point was that proving, and to whom? I already know what I learned. I already know I am worthy of better and am safely on that path. Basically the only person being affected here is me, which is placing myself in a victim role I have no desire to play.

Frankly, I don't want to blame the darkness. I don't want to blame anyone or anything.

That's just giving away my power.

Bringing the light,

Trish
