Forgiveness As A Tool For Personal Development...

You might be wondering how forgiveness serves as a tool for personal development. Not to worry as your worries would be replaced with clarity soon. Let's dive!

Forgiveness is an act of forgiving and letting go of the hurt or pain a person has inflicted on you. Forgiveness comes with a lot of sacrifice and determination. At first, it might look hard to do but the moment you realize that you're in a bondage by refusing to forgive, it will become an easy task to do.

Personal Development is a lifelong process that involves people accessing their skills, strengths, weakness, and thereafter honing them to bring out the very best version of themselves.

It's just like training a wrestler, cos for sure you have to take your time to discover the weak points of that wrestler and develop him in that area. To develop therefore, isn't something people will force on you, you must be willing to.

Unforgiveness is a cage that everyone should run away from but sadly enough, it is what most people get into. You'll hear things like... "I'll never forgive him for what he did", "I'll revenge the death of my father. I cannot forgive her."

"To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover that the prisoner was you."- Lewis B Swedes ...

Yes! To set a prisoner free while forgiving means setting yourself free, it also means forgiving yourself and affirming that you love yourself.

Moreover, unforgiveness will not only birth hatred but also an unrest of the mind. Anger and hatred would be the order of the day. You'll not only get angry with your offender but also with yourself. Unforgiveness can also lead to depression. The moment depression sets in, you start losing your self worth and love.

However, despite how hard it might seem for you to forgive, there are various steps you can take to see forgiveness as an easy task to perform;

• The first step to take in order to forgive is to acknowledge the hurt and accept that you can't change the past. Realize that the deed is done already and look for a way out. Also, understand that taking revenge won't change anything other than bringing more pain and hurt not only to your offender but also to you.

• Be determined that come what may, you'll forgive your offender. Determination in terms of forgiveness comes first with realizing how much you love yourself and how much you won't let anybody to hurt your feelings. When you understand that fact, the willingness to forgive will burn intensely.

• Learn to forgive your offender as this will improve your personal development. Holding grudges in your heart will only slow down your personal development which could result in dying slowly.

Also, remember that hurt people result to hurt others. Your offender might hurt you because he has been hurt also in the time past. Your own role now is to break the bondage and set yourself free by FORGIVING.
