Dropping the fat can be a long and hard journey. I mean some of us have more fat to lose than others but it is the same process. We become so consumed by how much external weight we are losing that we rarely pay attention to the internal weight we need to lose. No I'm not talking about the shrinking of internal organs. I am referring to the excess weight that covers our heart, soul and emotions.
I want to tackle some of the internal weight we need to shed. The first would be Unforgiveness Oh gosh can this monster become huge, in fact the older you become the bigger it can get, if you are suffering from the burden of carrying around unforgiveness.well, it is time for a spiritual gastric bypass so to speak. Unforgiveness is a poison that contaminates your soul; warps your mind and leaves you bitter.
Cut it out of your life. Let go of it, starve it to death. See you can't live too long on this planet without hurting someone or being hurt and most of us have experienced both. Face it all of us have experience some form of injustice, rejection, mistreatment. When someone wrongs us we want to hold on to the pain and relive it as though getting bitter really helps us.
Hey it was bad enough that it happened to us in the first place why do we insist on reliving it day after day year after year decade after decade? Don't misunderstand me some of us really were severely emotionally and sometimes even physically abused or misused. How dare I ask someone to forgive a person who is evil at worst and mean spirited and cruel at best?
Simple because what they did too you or me was bad enough we don't need to carry around the burden of what they have done to us. We need freedom from the weight. Learn to forgive. let it go and move on to a brighter future, replace the sadness and hurt with joy and happiness. Release them so you can be free. Forgive someone today and see how much lighter you will feel even if the only person you have to forgive is yourself.
