The Power Of Forgiveness

'Aint that the thruth!

'Aint that the thruth!

By Rachel Oliver & Shane Krider, Polaris Global

“Always forgive your enemies – nothing annoys them so much” Oscar Wilde

When I came across this quote today it really gave me a chuckle. It also got me thinking about the importance of forgiveness. All of us at some point have been hurt by the actions or words of another. You may have discovered a friend gossiping behind your back or your mother perhaps made damning remarks on your parenting skills or someone may even go so far as making up untruths about you to hurt you. The actions of another can leave you with feelings of anger, resentment and even vengeance. But here’s the thing, if you don’t practice forgiveness, you may be the one who pays the price in the long run. Those feelings of anger and resentment are harming you more than anyone.

I have experienced someone close to me speaking untruths behind my back. This person  shared some very personal events that had occurred in my life. They twisted the events and added their own spin on what had actually happened.  At first I was angry. Then I was hurt. Then I wanted revenge. Then I was angry again. A few hours later I came out the other side feeling compassion and empathy for the person that had attacked me. This doesn’t mean that I am denying that this person hurt me or that I’m taking away the responsibility that must lay with this person – it simply means that I choose to forgive. And ya know what….as soon as I shifted to forgiveness I instantly felt a whole lot better! I instantly felt lighter, happier and more at peace with myself.

Is there someone in your life who you should forgive?

“No Arms, No Legs, No Worries!”

Nick Vujicic Inspiration

Nick Vujicic Inspiration

Nick Vujicic has a remarkable story. As I watched his video today tears streamed down my face (see below) Tears of gratitude. I showed the clip to Shane and he mentioned that he’d seen Nick recently at LAX with many people lining up to hug him and honour him. Nick’s story is a true testiment to the strength of the human spirit. He was born in 1982 in Melbourne, Australia without arms and without legs.

At first the doctors didn’t believe that Nick would live for very long, but tests proved that he was a healthy baby boy except, as Nick has said, “just one hitch, I’d been born without any limbs”.

He turned his challenging situation into a gift. A message of hope that he shares with thousands of people around the world. Providing inspiration and love to so many people both directly and indirectly through who he is being.

At 25 years of age he’d completed a bachelor’s degree in both financial planning and accounting and also an active motivational speaker. But what really got me is the his ability to accomplish the simple things that so many of us take for granted, such as swimming, fishing and even playing soccer!

Prague Jan 2010 Polaris Global

“Sometimes when your in the flow and the world and you are pulling together you find yourself drawn to certain events, people and places.  At the time it’s not always clear why but as your life unfolds you realise that many things are “meant”. Prague for me was one of those events.  I didn’t know it at the time but It was to have a profound influence on what was to play a huge part in carrying me through the next three months.

The underlying theme for me from the speakers Scott Burrows and Ozzi (Oz Sanchez) and the film Unbeaten was “Don’t wait until your life changing emotional event happens before you go for what you want in life.”  To witness these people telling their stories of how pure grit and determination enabled them to push the tide that was pushing against them and turn it around and achieve what they wanted in life was overwhelming and mind blowing.  Little did I know my own life changing emotional event was already awakened in me and for the next 3 months I would be journeying through biopsies, waiting for results and an operation.  Thankfully for me I have had a very positive out come and I’m very blessed and fortunate to have my health back. Most importantly a second chance to live my life to the full and have the time to be with my family.

What I would like to share is the fact I have been introduced to the world of positive thinking through the Beyond Freedom Program and through my experience in Prague,  I went through my life changing emotional event with such positive strength.  I can honestly say some of my most profoundly happy moments were during this time.  I discovered how to turn a hugely stressful time into such a positive experience.  I saw my world with new eyes and without my positive belief the experience would have I believe been terrifying.

I would like to say thank you to Rachel and Shane for your belief and all who are making Polaris Global a company that has and continues to have such a positive impact on peoples lives.

To conclude Prague was outstanding at the time but now I recognise why I traveled and how my path crosses with the giants of positivity”. Margaret L-W
