Panama to Costa Rica to a Better Understanding of Self ......

As humans we can not divide our spiritual nature from the other aspects of personality.  We were created so that we will seek balance between all the aspects of life:  We can not understand everything or our place in the world if we are experiencing upset in our emotional life, such as feeling unworthy or unloved.  Our mental aspects is were our intellect helps us define our understanding of self, and so on. 

I am at a point in my life that is urgent need for change and I didn't even know it. The old ways are just not working. Many of my current problems seem to be a repeat of the past. At best these issues are systemic, at worst, they are chronic, either way, there are too many apparently unsolvable issues. Everyone Remember all of us have our issues. The outside forces that  produce a state of anxiety, stress and depression.  We may not have the time, the resources, and  knowledge available to resolve all of the issues. We need to re-engineer our thinking in order to solve these problems. The very mechanics ourselves.

Isn’t it time for a new approach?

Is a new point of view possible?

The questions I was faced with this past week during meditation....  yes i said meditation.

Am I living my life to the best of my ability and if i am not what am I doing to achieve this goal.

Thank you to my Panama Tribe Family Members I have learned so much from all of you.

Thank you Panama for breathing a fresh breath in to my soul.

Forgiveness

"To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover that the prisoner was you.”

"The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.”


The word “forgiveness” means different things to different people and is often hard to do. Instead of “forgiveness,” I like the word “insight" (human behavior).
There are many barriers to forgiveness, a few of which are fear, anger, resentment, and depression; many of the same conditions that dissipate when we do forgive.
Is forgiveness a choice?

Can we overcome barriers to forgiveness by pausing before we react to someone or something?
Sometimes quick reactions are in our best interest such as in pulling a child from the path of an oncoming car. Stress in the right dose serves us well. But an overdose is often counter productive as in panicking during a fire in a theatre. Granted, with some circumstances in life forgiveness like grief is a process that should not be accelerated.

Forgiveness is a powerful gift that releases us from the bondage of past failures, hurts and disappointments. It is a principle of success that few discuss in regard to the impact it has on both our personal and professional lives.
I cannot change yesterday, but I can make the choice whether to learn, grow and move on from past mistakes and misfortunes, or allow them to control my emotional well being today and what my attitude will be in the future.
The need for forgiveness in our lives is directly proportional to the degree of which we have failed, been hurt, or victimized. The more I have experienced these destructive encounters the greater degree of forgiveness is needed to mend the damage done.

ASK YOURSELF, CAN I NOT ONLY FORGIVE SOMEONE WHO HAS WRONGED ME
BUT CAN I FORGIVE MYSELF FOR THE WRONG I DO TO MYSELF AND OTHERS.
