IMPACT OF FORGIVENESS IN OUR LIVES

WHAT IS FORGIVENESS?

Let us first clear it to our selves what is the thin line between forgiveness and foolishness. SO, Forgiveness is a conscious effort you do to let go of the negative emotions you hold for someone because they have done wrong to you. But is allowing the same person to hurt you again. Forgiving is not to forget what one did to you. Because we human are emotional creatures. We have the ability to feel emotions to its height. Therefore when someone does wrong to us. We are under the influence of that emotional damage. It is really hard to get out of the emotional damage caused to you. And a thing like forgiveness is easier to say than to do. Now once you clearly understand what forgiveness and to let go is. It will be easier for you to practice it in your daily life.

So, first, of all, you have to set some boundaries in order to make the practice easier for you.

  • Although it is not easy to forget someone’s action. try to bring your mind toward peace and harmony
  • Tell your self humans are imperfect. We all are striving to achieve perfection. 
  • Man is prone to errors. When we accept this fact forgiving becomes easier.
  • Take your time, damage is not repaired overnight.
  • Respect your relationships.

Those who are merciful will be shown mercy by the Merciful. Be merciful to those on earth and the ones above the heavens will have mercy upon you. – Holy prophet (s.a.w)  Source: sunnan al timidhi

 

FORGIVING AND MOVING ON

Forgiveness is a choice we human beings have. It is a thing we do willingly. But what happens is that forgiveness brings a huge impact on our personalities. You not only just free yourself from living in the past but also remove the burden from your shoulders. Forgiveness brings ease to the heart and mind. We start to observe peace. As when we are in the state of anger and want to take revenge. Our brain emits negative emotions which in returns produce a negative vibe. And we start to be in a mode of anxiety and fight all the time. Whereas when you forgive someone you bring ease to your own life.

REFLECTING

As you practice more and more forgiveness. You will slowly realise what made that person do wrong to you. This practice will not only help you to reflect on the other aspects of the situation. Which you couldn’t because of being in an emotional state. But you will have more time to think about how you should react, feel when you get hurt or angry. For example, if your spouse is betraying you. It is definitely a very emotional and hurtful situation. But what you have to do is think of all the aspects of the situation, reflect, take your time, find out where you have been wrong before taking any action. Just remember that if a person does wrong to you even if you are right it is their bad luck to lose a person like you.

You will begin to heal when you let go of past hurts and forgive those who have wronged you. -Imam Ali (AS) Click To Tweet

 

LET GO OF EXPECTATIONS

We, humans, are always expecting things from others. And when things don’t happen the way we planned them to happen in our minds. We get hurt and feel sorrow. Expectations are a never-ending process. Getting disappointed again and again will only make things worse. Our mind is unsure and provides predictions as to how we expect the event to happen and an individual to behave. 

So, it’s better to practice gratitude and be happy with what you have. And start forgiving people. Because forgiveness will bring peace to your mind and heart. I hope you enjoyed reading the Impact of forgiveness in our lives.
