Forgiveness

Recently I endured a situation with a co-worker of mine where I was wrongly accused.  I knew how far I’ve digressed in my spiritual progress because of the way I reacted to the situation.  There had been previous altercations between my coworker and me, as a result I was a little on edge.  I got really upset which further proved to this person (in their eyes) that it was my fault.  I had a mini-meltdown and was on the verge of quitting my job.  My coworker sought mediation through my manager.  Thinking that this was a potentially peaceful meeting I agreed only to find out it wasn’t.  I understand that my position here was to not react (which is my usual position, unfortunately), it was to listen.  Even though I knew he was wrong in his accusations and he persisted just to get a rise out of me, I can only control me.  I understand that I manifested my part in this situation, I never applied the necessary forgiveness to the previous situation.  Which only made me a prime target for more of my coworkers negative energy.  Forgiveness is so important because, I’ve learned, it is less about the other person and more about me being able to move on.  Who knows, if I had done the necessary spiritual work I would have been out of the line of fire and it would have been directed elsewhere.  So today and for the next couple of days I am going to be actively focused on forgiveness.  First starting with other people, then moving onto myself, then moving onto the past.  It feels really good to be the person I AM in spite of the actions or motives of other people.  It helps to reinforce this spiritual journey and the person I’m growing into continuously.  I can SEE my growth and it looks GOOD.  People continue to give me good lessons to learn more about myself and grow from, thank you!  God is SO good!

Intention: Forgive anyone and everyone who I feel is harming and/or slighting me.  And then forget (essential part!) and move on.
