Forgiveness has little to do with the person who has committed a wrong against us; it is about us and how we want to live. To forgive, or to become willing to forgive, frees us. It brings us back into the present moment where love is available and we are free to choose it.

If we are hurt by criticism, we can deduce that we are also seduced by praise. Both praise and blame can be practice prompters for us. When we feel ourselves getting involved with another person’s opinions of us, it is an opportunity for self-inquiry. With praise, inwardly release attachment and give thanks to God for all gifts worthy of praise. In times of blame or criticism, ask if there is any truth in it. If so, use it as an opportunity to grow.

Establishing a routine of meditation is similar to beginning an exercise program. At first the body and mind resist; then the positive benefits begin to influence our decision-making process. When the subtle pleasure, or bliss, of meditation permeates the mental field we start to want to meditate and miss it if we don’t. Persevering to this point, to establishing ourselves in a positive habit, brings us joy.

God’s will refers to the highest good, or the fulfillment of divine purpose. God’s will for the individual does not differ from that individual soul’s true desire for fulfillment and liberation. We can trust in God because God is our Life, not separate from our essential Self.

Affirm and know: I am an instrument of peace. The joy of my soul shines within, around, and through me and lights the way of peace in every situation. I will not despair; I embrace my divine destiny and remember why I am here.

If you are too busy watching others on the path, you will stumble. Your walk is your own, no one else’s.
