Create Openness by Forgiveing

I recently completed with an old friend.

'Completed' to me means to go back and sort out whatever differences you may have had in a past incident.

And it always amazes me when I take on completing with someone, how much I had been carrying around with me - how much emotional baggage I had been carrying around....and yet I never noticed it.

The steps I went through to do this was like this:

A mutual friend contacted me and said: "Don't you think it's time to end this Kaka?"

I thought about it and agreed with him.

I then thought about what I would have to forgive this person for. As soon as I figured that out, I realised there was a lot I needed to forgive myself for. So I forgave my friend and myself.

Then I realised I needed to let him know that I'd forgiven him and myself. So I did.

I emailed him and then I phoned him. We had a fantastic conversation. Both said some amazing things that opened up the space for both of us. Both of us got to take responsibility for our part in the dispute.

Then, after that phone call, after facing up to that person, I started going through an amazing process of realising who I am and what I can do. It was like being set free after being tied up in chains. Wonderful stuff.

Forgiveness really does set you free.

There was business involved in that relationship. How are you stopping yourself by carrying around old business grudges? Old relationship grudges? Old hurts and pains?

How much longer do you want to carry that stuff around?
