FLUX, CHANGE AND FORGIVENESS

Sweet soul

Nothing stays the same. Everything is evolving, molecule by molecule. Our world is in constant flux.

“Students today are being prepared for jobs that don’t yet exist, using technologies that haven’t yet been invented, to solve problems that aren’t yet problems. The amount of technical information in the word is doubling every six months. This means that for students studying a technical four-year degree, half of what they learn will be outdated by their third year. At least half of the top job opportunities for 2020 do not yet exist.”

This is a peek at our expanding world through the eyes of authors Nikki Bush and Graeme Coddrington from their book ‘Future Proof your Child’.

The world is changing so fast and for us to not get left behind like ‘whining when-we’s’, we have to embrace the change and go with it. If we resist the inevitable we will cause ourselves huge suffering. To fight what you have no power to change, is to create internal resistance and resentment. This unacceptance is unforgiveness. To not accept what is, is to hang onto the way things once were. This resistance to change, whatever it may be - from aging to having lost part of your faculties due to an accident to wanting things like the ‘good old days’, is all the stuff of unforgiveness.

We are individually responsible for making the choice whether we resist, deny or accept life. All life is temporary, just a wafting scent in the breeze. If you don’t ingest it and experience it in the full, in the NOW, life will just pass you by and you will suffer regret.

We cause ourselves to suffer because we refuse to accept that we can never have things back like they once were and we stubbornly try and control everything in our midst because of our fear of the unknown in the future. We fear aging, death, losing our loved ones, change of career, relationships, you name it.  

We need to make friends with uncertainty. 

Forgiveness lies in surrendering to the realization that everything in our midst is constantly changing. The sooner you let go of the need to control, to keep things the way they once were, the sooner you will embrace the ability to let go and forgive. 

Forgiveness has no judgement. Forgiveness is unconditional and it starts with you. If you love yourself unconditionally, you are without judgement and you forgive yourself and everyone else too. 

When you don’t love yourself, you judge yourself and as you do to yourself, so you judge the world. When you are in judgement of everyone and everything you are powerless to forgive. You can’t because forgiveness is unconditional love.

Forgiveness is directly proportional to your ability to accept change. To embrace acceptance is to find freedom from self-made suffering. It is the end of war. It is the manifestation of peace.

So keep on learning, growing and evolving. Keep going with the flow. Don’t get left behind in the recesses of your pasts. Now is your moment to embrace your freedom by embracing change. Become a champion forgiver.

Forgift yourself! It is the most important thing you will ever do. Give yourself the most sacred gift of love from yourself to yourself.

I love you!
