Do you remember the movie with Brendan Fraser, “The Mummy,” when near the end, the mummy says, “Death is just the beginning?”
Well, I would like to add that forgiveness is also just the beginning.
Many people believe that when you forgive, you are done forever with whatever issue you were working to heal.
I am sorry to tell you, but that simply is not true.
Forgiveness is a life-changing step and a major one. You have released the other person and yourself from the mental prison you were in.
However, you still need to do the work to correct your mind of the unconscious, limiting beliefs that attracted this person or situation to you to begin with. Many of these fear based beliefs began in childhood and are not rational, yet they still run your life as an adult.
Take the next step beyond forgiveness to claim new life!
With honesty and self-compassion, you can unravel and correct those weird, irrational beliefs and replace them with loving ones that actually work for you now and bring you the life you truly want.
And while you are at it, I encourage you to live your passion!
