Daily Inspirational Message for March 1, 2014

IM 3:1“As difficult as it seems, you can be sure of this: At the core of the heart, you have the power to move beyond the old issues that are still hindering your freedom. The hardest things – the ones that push you up against your limits – are the very things you need to address to make a quantum leap into a fresh inner and outer life.”
– Doc Childre and Howard Martin

I know several people who are endlessly dealing with the same sticky relationship. The circle just goes on and on. He says this, and she gets him back by doing that, and then he really lets her have it, and she breaks down and cries, then finds her inner strength and pulls it all together again to really show him, etc. How exhausting it all is, and it will continue until one of them lets go – lets go of winning and losing, of keeping tally, and just forgives. Letting go will free her of the whole struggle, and free up all of those emotional and mental resources for building a whole new personal reality. Forgiveness can be hard when things are really bad, but this is when it’s also the most powerful! The harder you find it is to forgive someone, the more you will gain by doing so.
