Forgiveness

By Samantha De Bono

The past is over and done with. We cannot change it now. But we can change our thoughts about the past. We must not punish ourselves in the here and now because someone hurt us long ago.

If we choose to believe we are helpless victims, then that belief will grow and grow because we are feeding it.  However if we challenge these negative beliefs we can start to release the hopelessness we are trapped within.

We can choose to release the past by forgiving those we blame for our pain and forgive ourselves too.

We might not know how to forgive or even want to forgive, but the very fact that we say we are willing to forgive begins the healing process.

If you can’t find a way to forgive and you’re trapped inside your past pain, counselling can help you to move forward.

You deserve to be free and to feel happy and enthusiastic about the future!
