Hey guys, it's me.
You know, I'm just sitting here looking outside of my window.
It's pretty snowy out there and quite chilly.
And I'm thinking about the people I have forgiven in my life.
But don't forget to forgive yourself.
Right?
If there are people that have done you wrong.
You have to forgive them.
But you also have to forgive yourself for allowing those people to do you wrong.
Right?
I mean, think about it.
If you didn't have self-worth or self-love, right?
We've all been there.
I'm not saying I'm perfect by any means.
Nobody is.
But if you didn't have self-love and self-worth,
you would have allowed people to step and stomp on you,
disrespect you, cheat on you, lie to you.
I mean everything, okay?
Everything beneath the sun that's negative. Not only did you allow it
You will attract it.
So just remember,
to live a very happy, and peaceful life,
you must forgive those that did you wrong.
You also must forgive yourself for allowing them to mistreat you.
You can't do one or the other.
You have to do both.
It takes time.
It's not an easy road.
So do what you have to do to live the life you want
Heal your heart, heal your mind, heal your soul for the shit that you've gone through
with certain individuals.
It doesn't matter who.
And forgive them.
Forgive them.
And forgive yourself.
Let's take friends as an example,
I have one friend in particular who has not talked to his brother
for a very long time. I'm talking about 20 fucking years.
20 years, you guys.
Think about that.
That's a long time!
And it's always over something so stupid or so small.
Why? Why waste time like that?
Why waste your life like that?
We have one life, you guys.
One life to live
How do you want to live it?
Do you want to be happy?
Of course you do. Who doesn't?
Who in their right mind will respond with a "no", I don't want to be happy.
I dare each and every one of you that's hearing this recording,
or just one person who has the audacity, the balls,
to call up a sibling (if you have a beef with a sibling)
and apologize (if you started something)
or let them know how they hurt you
but you've forgiven them and want them back in your life (for example)
If it's someone you dated you can forigve them from afar
you do not need closure. The closure is you forgiving them for you!
For YOU!
If you bump into them on the street, feel free to
open up and let them know that you have forgiven them.
It's freedom.
You must let things go to move forward.
Let the fucking shit go, because that's all it is.
It's just shit.
And it's going to hold you back
from the path that you're supposed to be on.
And when you're on the right path, oh my God, what a blessing that is. You'll know.
I'm well into my 50s, okay?
I can honestly say I live the most peaceful and happiest life...finally!
Because I've forgiven anyone who has done me dirty.
Most times I forgive from my end without closure. It's difficult but well worth it.
Once you forgive, you can't go back and think, oh, that fucking asshole or that stupid bitch etc, etc.
You can't do that.
When you forgive, you forgive...period.
You have to let it go.
What's done is done.
Bury it and it's finito, okay?
It's finished.
But if you keep rehashing shit and in a negative tone or manner, you're not ready.
You haven't quite forgiven yet.
You're not quite there yet.
Keep doing it.
Keep practicing.
Keep forgiving.
I dare everybody right now or one person to forgive someone in their life.
Just one fucking person.
Just one.
You have to start somewhere.
Let's say you're actually forgiving someone over the phone or in person
and explained how they hurt you when they did this or that.
And how angry and upset you were to the point you couldn't speak to them
If their response is negative (ex: fuck you, it wasn't me...)
Well, that should tell you everything
Walk away
That person is clearly not ready
Hasn't done the work to heal
Or to grow from life's lessons
Leave that person alone as their time will come
where they will be pushed by the Universe to heal
And that's that.
it's not your circus (don't take it on)
Remember, not everyone is on the path you're on
To talk to somebody like that, they're not ready.
So don't waste your time.
You've forgiven them.
You've forgiven yourself.
And now you carry on with your life.
You will feel lighter and happier just from that one action
When you forgive someone, you're forgiving them for YOU, to set YOU free so you can
move forward in life.
If you don't forgive, you can't take a step forward.
Think about that.
Anyway, guys, that's all I need to say for now.
I love you all and I dare you to forgive just one person.
You will shock the shit out of them.
And then in time, they in time will turn around and forgive someone because they will notice
how fruitful your life has become.
How good you feel because you've let it go.
Don't hang on to things that weigh you down.
Okay?
It's not worth it.
Again, we have one life to live.
Live it to the best of your ability.
You deserve love.
You deserve happiness.
You deserve freedom.
You deserve trust.
You deserve respect.
Right?
You deserve all of these things and more.
Now, you just have to show others that you do.
Exclude the ego.
I'll talk about that another time
No ego.
It never, ever gets you anywhere except down a spiralling rabbit hole and a dark one at
that.
All right, guys.
I love you.

Take care.
