Forgiveness is the path for growth

The periods where I experienced the biggest growth in myself are also the periods where I have had the worst in my life.

Thrown under the bus ✅

Stabed in the back ✅

Wrongfully accused ✅

Misunderstood ✅

Anger, disappointment, disillusioned and at times sadness.

But there was an advice that rings in my ear each time, “This is about you and your leadership growth.”

The first time I heard it I was not a happy recipient of this advice.

Why is it about me when I am not at fault and it is someone else’s fault!

But I reflected on the advice and with time realised the wisdom of the advice.

Life is never fair

I can’t control what others do but I can control what I do

How I respond will only hurt me or help me

So each time when these moments happened I asked myself what can I do that will help myself to grow.

And big part of this is to let go of the anger and grudges.

Forgive and my heart will expand.

Expand and create more space for hope, faith and ways to move upwards & forward.

Open our hearts to forgive those who have wronged us for the path of growth and spirituality begins with us.
