We have all
heard it and we have all said it, “I can
forgive but I can’t forget.”
How does one
do that? Don’t they both go together? How in the world do you separate them?
If we are
are not forgetting what someone or somebody or maybe even a group of people
have done to us; how then, can we ever forgive them?
The Universe
showed me an example that has helped me greatly.
Imagine your
mind is like a library that has millions of books that stores millions of
memories.
It is our
library so we can arrange the books in any order or section of the library that
we want. The Universe gave me a POG (plan o gram) that would help me arrange
the books in the most productive way possible.
At the front of the library the Universe placed books that
contained positive thoughts, words, actions, and stories. Unfortunately, when
it comes to thoughts that we have every day, experts tell us that 80% are on
the negative side. So, with that in mind we have to put those books full of
negative thoughts especially when it comes to not forgetting and not forgiving
others at the back of the library on the top of those shelves that are hard to reach[jm1] .
So, when it comes to forgiving others in a positive way, make
those books easy to get to by putting them in the front of the library or at
the front of your memories. Make the negative books full of bitter memories,
hatred, jealously, and negative forgiveness at the back of your memory library
so that we have to navigate our way through all of the positive thoughts just
to get to those unpleasant memories.
Who knows, maybe by the time we arrive at the negative
section, we would have forgotten what we were so upset about.
