The Forgiveness Project

So, I've taking up the challenge and agreed to take part in my friend's Forgiveness Project (http://explorationsofelloaness.blogspot.com/p/forgiveness-project.html). Meaning that I seriously commit to practice true forgiveness every single day for 30 days. What a challenge! Is that really possible? Can I really not hold grudges against anyone or anything (not even against my stupid internet when it cuts out - ooops, there already was a grudge...)

I guess it may help to first of all think about what forgiveness means to me. Hmmm....

I suppose for me forgiveness has to do with making a choice. A choice about how I want to look at a certain situation, event or person and how I interpret it, i.e. what am I making this mean.

It is also about choosing to let go, choosing love over grievances, choosing happiness over the need to be right. And most of all it's about the discipline of choosing to see other people's AND our own actions and behaviors as either an act of love or a cry for love and to see the other person and ourself as innocent. And this is probably the hardest thing for me, to forgive myself and to see my innocence.

So with this in mind Im going to take up the challenge of practicing forgiveness for self and others on a daily basis and to report on it on a daily basis. And with that i'm doing my wee bit for world peace (well at least for the next 30days).

Lets join forces and let the Forgiveness Revolution begin! Hurrrrayyyyy!!!!!!
