Maybe a Happy Forgiveness Day is necessary. We can&#39;t have love until we forgive. Love the quote. What a movement he started.

I&#39;ll never forget reading Jerry&#39;s books back in the 80&#39;s. I still have Love is Letting Go of Guilt. It&#39;s in a million pieces wrapped in a rubber band.

Even though I hold no regrets, I wish I learned this so much sooner in life.<br /><br />Today, forgiveness comes easy, especially even more so, that I understand that no one does anything wrong, given their model of the world. And I will never forget too when I learned finally at some point, that in forgiving we give ourselves the gift, not the other person. So your words here embody so much what I know, feel and live by today.<br /><br />Many thanks for sharing this message!Evitahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00918247581691009147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15289091621576560.post-19150873513889798812010-10-30T09:17:13.371-07:002010-10-30T09:17:13.371-07:00Jay: You really understand forgiveness...we all do things that need forgiving, seems it is the human condition. How nice you forgive so readily. We will be in touch soon!<br /><br />Joy: Forgiveness is freeing...it is loving without limits...and as you said, it means forgiving ourselves as well...what a journey this is...loving, forgiving, letting go...Brenda Strauszhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01626738899660642880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15289091621576560.post-54152797628992035182010-10-30T05:44:06.943-07:002010-10-30T05:44:06.943-07:00Hi Brenda,<br />Forgiveness is freedom..forgiveness is unconditional love in practice.. <br />One concept I think in general people may struggle with is forgiveness of self..how readily we may forgive others, yet criticize our own self and allow those emotions to form a barrier to movement..<br />May we forgive fully..each other, and our selves..so that we may experience abundant peace as we create each day:)unfoldingyourpathtojoyhttp://unfoldingyourpathtojoy.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15289091621576560.post-77852242661619791072010-10-29T18:06:15.290-07:002010-10-29T18:06:15.290-07:00I think the thing that helps me forgive others the most is remembering all the times that I have been forgiven. I make a lot of mistakes, and I hurt people. I wish that this wasn&#39;t the case, but it happens. And whenever it does, I am almost always forgiven...even when I don&#39;t deserve forgiveness, it comes to me. Forgiveness is beautiful...<br /><br />So, whenever I have been hurt or wronged, I try to remember that and forgive the other person as quickly as I can. it&#39;s not always easy, but I know it&#39;s always right.Jayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02483343112522697347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15289091621576560.post-2958080432715954302010-10-26T09:19:04.553-07:002010-10-26T09:19:04.553-07:00This was a great post. I liked your story about the speaker and his words to remember,&quot;If it is to be, it is up to me!&quot;<br /><br />I loved how you talked about changing our thinking about situations. I think is so true and valuable advice. I know I often get stuck in the negative like a record. It&#39;s when I stop and realize what I&#39;m doing that I can alter it. It&#39;s about making a choice, like your friend did on her trip.<br /><br />I also loved the affirmations.
