One Minute Mindfulness - The Power Of Forgiveness

We should do our best to not blame other people for what we're feeling.

We should try to be grateful for their presence in our lives.

The people who make us the most uncomfortable are often the best teachers we'll ever have.

We should always wish them well.

This is an excellent way of remaining empowered and unaffected by their words and actions.

We can overcome the unpleasantness of their behaviors by extending our heart to them,

No matter what they may have done to us.

This pushes out hate and helps open the possibility of inner and outer peace.

When we're feeling angry at someone or sad at how they may have hurt us,

We might try summoning the courage to wish them happiness and peace.

We're all capable of giving love,

And this is an excellent way of practicing this.

And when we can invite others to receive peace and goodness,

It allows us to be more open to it as well.

As we do this,

We'll begin to see our resentment and frustration fade away and start to understand the power of forgiveness.
