Forgiven

Tammy showed me an excerpt from a book she is reading. It was about the word FORGIVE, and it highlighted this point:

For Give

And it struck me that this is a promise to the Law of Human Reciprocity. That to do things for others and to give them a gift is the act of forgiving.

We all need forgiveness in our lives and it takes others to do that for us. Maybe the greatest gift we can give someone, and one that will be returned, is to forgive.

The power to FOR GIVE is controlled by me. I can choose at any moment to give that to someone, or not. What if I don't forgive, will it change their life? What if a forgive, will it change their life?

My new experiment this week will be to forgive more than not and see what happens. Can you do the same and tell me how it goes?

Another revolution around the sun

I turn 52 next week and I am excited that I have made it this far! It is a time to thank my family, friends and colleague's for a top notch journey, and to say, keep your seat belt fastened!

Several books are on my desk, all in the process of being read at one stage or another. A common theme is running throughout......courage to dream, courage to do new things, courage to live a larger life.

I'm curious, what are you being courageous about this week?
