How to forgive someone?

How to forgive someone?

Do you forgive your friends when they hurt you? Do you remember the positive or the negative from your friends? How can you forgive someone?

Many people want to learn how to forgive someone whether it is a friend, a family member, or colleague, but find it hard to do so.  Being able to forgive is necessary for you to move on and live peacefully and will keep you healthy emotionally.  Otherwise, you will be wasting your time and energy in a negative way and that could keep you from achieving your goals as I mentioned in my book “the ultimate guide to achieve your goals.” 

Forgiveness

To learn how to forgive someone, read the following story:

Once upon a time there were two close friends, John and Mike walking in the desert. During the trip, they got into an argument and suddenly, John hit Mike on his face. Mike, the guy who got hit on his face was in pain. Without saying a word, he wrote in the sand, “My best friend hit my face today.” The two friends continued to walk and suddenly Mike, fell in an oasis. John helped and rescued his friend Mike from drowning. After Mike’s survival, Mike wrote on a piece of rock, “Today, my best friend rescued me from drowning.”

John asked his friend Mike, “Why the first time when I hit you, you wrote in the sand and now, when I saved you, you wrote on the rock?” Mike replied, “When a friend hurts us, we have to write what happens in the sand, so the wind can wash the words away, but when a friend rescues and helps us, we should write it on a piece of rock, so the wind won’t be able to erase it.”
Let me ask you something, when a friend hurts you, do you keep it in your heart or you forgive your friend? Do you always hold grudges or you realize we are all humans and we all make mistakes?

You forgive your friends and family for the pain they have caused you by focusing on the positivity and the good things that they give you and by realizing everyone is a human. Realize that by forgiving someone, you are sending positive energy to the world.

Always remember what Robert Muller said, “To forgive is the highest, most beautiful form of love. In return, you will receive untold piece and happiness.”

      Hi Dandy,

      For sure forgiveness helps us a lot physicall and emotionally. It helps us focus on the goodness in each person’s heart. Althought it is hard, but I believe we are all capable of forgiving each other if we really look deep into our souls.

    What a lovely story! Not forgiving others causes us so much heartache, wastes so much energy and achieves nothing. So while it may be difficult, it is ddefinitley something we have to do as a priority.

      Hi Kate,

      For sure my friend, vengence and not forgiving others causes us a lot of pain and it is a waste of energy. Instead, we should find it in our heart to forgive people who hurt us and then focus on our life and what is positive.

  3. Great little story here—- a theme that never grows old as each and every one of us need to get better and better at it with age. I’m not sure there is anything more powerful in this world than that of forgiveness.

    Dia,

    Learning to forgive is difficult but extremely freeing if you allow yourself to let go of things that happened in the past. I have had a lot of success letting go of the small things but the larger ones are so difficult to let go of. It is a process. Your story was inspiring. Great Post

      Hi Frank,

      For sure my friend, forgiving is hard, it is a slow process. I am confident however if we look deep inside ourselve and have empathy, forgiveness becomes less “hard.”

    hello dia,
    how are you?
    you have touched on a deep subject.
    it’s important to forgive each other but at times it takes courage, will power and a bit of determination.
    having said that there’s a lot to be derived from forgiving those who have wronged us such as freedom, peace of mind, emotional stablity…
    take care and enjoy the rest of the day
