Whatever It Takes

Guys below is a topic discussed by Mr. Andrew Matthews and I just find it worth sharing to make this world a better place to live in.  I know this happened to you too. So please read it and do something….

If forgiving others is difficult, forgiving ourselves is even harder. Many people spend their whole lives punishing themselves mentally and physically for what they believe to be their own shortcomings. Some over-eat, some under-eat, some drink themselves into oblivion, some systematically destroy all their relationships, some live a life of poverty or sickness. At the root of this suffering can be a belief system which says, “I have done a lot of naughty things”, “I am guilty”, or “I don’t deserve to be healthy and happy”. You may be surprised at how many sick people there are who are not convinced that they deserve to be healthy and happy!

If you are feeling guilty, I would suggest that you have put yourself through enough. Why prolong it? If you were to feel guilty for extra year or two. you wouldn’t help things.

Throw out the guilt. Not that it’s always easy to throw it out. maintaining a healthy mind takes a lot of effort as does maintaining a healthy body. It is worth the effort.

Blaming and feeling guilty are equally dangerous and destructive. While we blame God, blame others and blame ourselves, we are avoiding the real issue which is to do something about the problem. It is always OUR CHOICE whether we get on with our life and live in the now, or whether we chain ourselves to grudges and upsets of the past.
