Three things to remember when resolving emotional issues.
- Allow others to do as they choose. This does not mean that you allow others to continually harm you or others, for you would do well to remove yourself from the presence of these persons. However, it does mean that you realize they are operating from their own fears and beliefs. You do not have to adhere to their beliefs or change yours in order to get along. If they say or do things that are unkind, you do not have to believe their words or participate in their actions. Everyone has injured or been injured physically or emotionally by others, but you have within you the ability to heal these wounds, forgive yourself and all others, then move forward with your life.
- Know that you have within you the power to choose the experiences you wish to have. You cannot undo the past, but in this moment, the thoughts, words and actions you express are creating your future. Be mindful of all you say and do, choosing those things that lead to the life you desire.
- Make heart connections with every person you meet, especially with your adversaries. This can be done by sending love to them when you are in their presence or this can be accomplished remotely with those who are not in your presence.
Practice these three suggestions every day and you will be astonished at how easy life becomes as you release past burdens and the fear of possible future pain. As you resolve issues, you will begin to live life in the moment, fully in love with your Creator, yourself and those around you.
“Repay no one evil for evil, but give thought to do what is honorable in the sight of all. If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all. Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.” To the contrary, “if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink; for by so doing you will heap burning coals on his head.” Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.” (Romans 12:17-21)
