Many people are afraid to forgive because they feel they must remember the wrong or they will not learn from it. The opposite is true. Through forgiveness, the wrong is released from its emotional stranglehold on us so that we can learn from it. Through the power and intelligence of the heart, the release of forgiveness brings expanded intelligence to work with the situation more effectively.
We've all heard the voice of our heart before, whether we followed it or not. As we learn more about the heart and find that we can trust its contributions to our awareness, a new and more rewarding life experience will emerge for individuals. It's worth considering. After all, a life without heart just isn't that much fun.
So lets make it fun, treat life like a game in which you are juggling five balls in the air. I name each one of them - work, family, health, friends, and spirit - which I keep all of them in the air. You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back. But the other four balls - family, health, friends, and spirit are made of glass. If you drop one of these, they will be irrevocably scuffed, marked, nicked, damaged, or even shattered. They will never be the same. You must understand that and strive for balance in your life.
Therefore in the midst of life's hopes and cares, of apprehensions and of disquietude, regard every day that dawns upon you as if it was to be your last; then super-added hours, to the enjoyment of which you had not looked forward, will prove an acceptable boon. Any one person can make an effort to contact a deeper part of him- or herself, balance his or her emotions, and deflect the momentum. The more we learn to maintain the poise and balance and refrain from adding to the incoherence around, it will help to counterbalance the frequency of life..... For now, don't cry because its over, smile because it happened....
