Forgive and Grow Rich III James William Officer

The difficulty in applying what sounds like a simple principle is that we can't build habits into the past. We can only build new habits forward. However, all the things we hold on to are behind us. Every hurt, pain, and broken place in our lives are there because we hold on to them. Not because they hold us. Your ego survives by holding you captive to your limiting beliefs, past hurts or failures, and uncertainty. The "you" that your ego represents is the "you" that you were, not the "you" that you are. Why? Because your ego's only input comes from your interpretation of your experiences and circumstances. Forgiveness disarms the ego so that you can seek your best self and your highest potential minus the judgement of self and others. It allows you to live in the present, crafting and your future, rather than projecting energy (uselessly) into a past that you can't change. Forgiveness is an unbalanced force because it defies logic. Forgiveness interrupts the primitive instinct of survival. Forgiveness is a higher vibration and closer to the mind and heart of God.
