This I Believe!

There are so many things that I believe in, the first thing that came to mind was dance, but dance is so typical of me since I am a dance major. I want to go outside the box and let others learn about the non-typical things that I believe in. With that said; I believe in Forgiveness. Forgiveness can open a lot of doors in your life that you might not think are willing to open. Forgiveness can lead to success. I believe that when you hold grudges you stay in the past you don’t allow yourself to push forward. You are dwelling on heart ache. Grudges can also become stressful. You continuously think about that person and anger builds up. When you learn to forgive you let go of what happen in the past and you look forward into what may come in the future. Forgiveness can release the negative thoughts that you hold in your mind. Many people have insecurity’s; this insecurity may come from what others have said negatively about you. When you forgive as well as letting that comment go you release your insecurity and branch out. The mind is a powerful weapon and can reflect your outcomes in life. I suppose that if you think negative your outcomes in life will be negative as well.
I have a good friend that I didn’t talk to for about 6 months. This was very awkward because I would talk to her everyday. Good friends are hard to find and losing a good one is horrible. Well I went along and listened to the “he say she says” and stopped talking to her. Her actions as a friend weren’t friendly like neither. Well one day I woke up and thought to myself, I am too old to be hold grudges, I miss my friend. I picked up the phone to call her and found out that the whole story was wrong. It was just a misunderstanding. If I didn’t believe in forgiveness I would still be holding that grudge and missing out on my good friend. I believe that forgiveness can bring love to others. Forgiveness can help decrease the amount of violence in this world. When I forgive someone I feel better about myself. We are not perfect people. I think that we need to let that sink in, we are not perfect people. We hold other people up to these high standards that we can’t even meet. We have to understand who we are and understand that we have to forgive.
