Forgiveness doesn’t
happen BETWEEN two
people. Forgiveness
only happens within
you! Forgiveness doesn’t happen BETWEEN
two people. Forgiveness only happens
within you!
our insistence that the past SHOULD have
been different. We can instead ACCEPT that
the past could not have been any different
than it actually was. Amends happens between two people.
Forgiveness only happens within YOU.
Your Two Choices:
1 Hold onto your insistence/hope that
the past should have been different
and stay STUCK in that forever.
2 Accept that the past could not be
any different than it actually was and
begin to get UNstuck.
The POWER of Forgiveness is an amazing
thing!
The Second Obstacle
to Forgiveness
Oftentimes, once someone accepts the
fact that the past could not have been
different, the next obstacle to overcome
is the misunderstanding about how
forgiveness happens.

The moment you decide to give up the HOPE
that the past could have been any different
than it actually was, you are FREE!
Many people get stuck by the FALSE belief
that to forgive, you need to go to the other
person and express “I forgive you.”
You can do that, but that is not forgiveness,
that is AMENDS.
All you must do to experience forgiveness
and be free is to give up the hope that the
past could have been any different than it
actually was. Breathe. And be free.
The Third Obstacle
to Forgiveness
So, by now, if you are willing to give up
the hope that the past could have been
any different than it actually was, and you
recognize that forgiveness only happens
within yourself, you may be considering
embracing forgiveness in this moment…
BUT, where would be the JUSTICE in that?!
Which brings us to obstacle number
three. The false belief that holding onto
UNforgiveness creates JUSTICE.
Unforgiveness doesn’t create justice… EVER!
That’s just not how justice works. The Universe
delivers justice through the law of cause and
effect, the most powerful law of the Universe.
