Yesterday, we talked about forgiving others.  Today, we would like to talk about acceptance.  To “accept” another, is to allow that person to be who they are, and to act in a manner that suits them.  When we attempt to “change” another person, or we sit and wish that they were different – we are […]

Yesterday we talked about owning your part of disagreements.  Today, we would like to talk about the concept of forgiveness.  When you begin to understand that you play a role in all disagreements, or relationship “issues” you have with another, you begin to open up to the idea of forgiveness.

“I’m really sorry.  I didn’t mean to hurt you.” “That’s okay, just try not to do it again.  What you said really hurt me, though.” “I know, I really didn’t mean anything by it.” “Okay, I forgive you.  Let’s go eat.” Ω Can you imagine this dialog?  It might be two good friends,  two young […]
