Success Lies Within : Forgiveness
Inner Peace
Success Lies Within
In order to achieve any sort of lasting success one must first embrace the principle that true success lies within.By this I refer to the fact that no person can achieve anything worthwhile or of true substance until he/she masters their inner self.
On the path towards peace of mind & contentment of the heart you will be faced with myriad obstacles. Some of these impediments are relatively easy to identify whilst others require introspection,reflection & deep but brutally honest soul-searching.
One of the most common problems faced by those seeking inner peace (and we all are at some point or the other) is that of forgiveness. There will be many individuals in your life who will hurt,humiliate & disappoint you.Some will do so intentionally while others just “happen” to hurt you.Usually a person who is hurt will replay the hurtful incident in their minds,reminding themselves & others of the pain they’ve endured.Sometimes they feel the need for revenge,whilst at other times they nurture the hurt & resentment which they have harboured for many years blaming themselves or blaming others. I always tell those around me
The key to solving the emotional conundrum of the cycle of hurt/hate is learning to forgive. Irrespective of who hurts you & the manner in which they do so, the longer you hold on to the hurt,the more you are going to suffer internally. Each time you dwell on the hurt you kill off a few more dreams of yours,you deny yourself the opportunity to achieve your full potential in life. Stop asking “why?” and “how come?” because these questions will never be answered. I don’t want to make this post any longer than it already is so I’ll list 4 principles related to forgiveness.Practice these in your own life & share with others.
- Forgive others as much as you would like to be forgiven
- Peace of mind is directly linked to forgiveness.One cannot exist without the other
- Forgive, let go & free yourself. In forgiveness lies true freedom. This is a universal principle
- Dwelling on your past just takes up the time you presently have, denying you the opportunity to use your time to work for your future
You only pass by the road of life once,live your life & live it well.

Salaam that is true most of the time the person who hurt you does not even know or they have forgotten about it and are living their lives, and you still walk around with resentment and un forgiveness.
