Hello Readers,
It is has been said that time heals all wounds and scars have a strange power to remind us that our past is real. Change, like healing takes time. Only time can heal your broken heart, just as only time can heal your broken arms and legs. Just as there is always time for pain, there is always time for healing. The human heart has a way of making itself large and whole again even after its been broken into a million pieces. Healing doesn’t mean that the damage never existed, it means the damage no longer controls our lives. Healing isn’t so much about getting better, its more about letting go of everything that isn’t you and making a fresh new start. It’s about doing things differently to how you probably did them in the past.
Stuff happens to everyone. No one person is exempt. Every day is a ‘school day’, and we all have important lessons to learn. Some people are not honest with themselves and go through life blaming everyone else for their misfortune instead of taking personal responsibility and getting a grip. They make a career out of playing the victim. I am sure many of you will have encountered such people at some point or other. But neither does it mean that you have to copy their behaviour. We all have choices. This is why the weak can never forgive, because forgiveness is an attribute of the strong.
We have to remember than when we forgive, we are not doing it for the other person, we are doing it for our own good. When we hold onto bad feelings and we live with grudges in our hearts, we are building up walls of separation. By forgiving the person who has hurt you, you are able to get out of a mental and emotional prison and you will never be free until you do so. By getting the bitterness out of your life you will be amazed what can happen when you release all the negative energy. Forgiveness does not mean that what the other person did was right or that you have to let them back into your life again. It simply means that you forgive them, but because we cannot forget, we are able to move forwards without own lives. A healed memory is not a deleted memory. The hardest thing is to smile when we are ill or in pain, but by looking upwards and onwards is the first step if we are to begin on the road to recovery.
What happens when people open their hearts? They get better.
Never regret anything, because everything happens for a reason. It’s part of the healing process. Life is a healing process.
Until Next Week,
Linda and The Lulas xxxx
