Change Your Thinking, Change Your Life: How to Unlock Your Full Potential for Success and Achievement

THE PATH TO FORGIVENESS
The way you forgive is simple. Each time you think of the other
person, you use the Law of Substitution and say,
“God bless
him/her; I forgive him/her for everything, and I wish him/her well.”
It
is not possible to bless and forgive another person and simultane-
ously be angry or upset. The positive thought cancels out the neg-
ative thought.
You can speed up the process of personal liberation by 
accept-
ing responsibility
for your share of what happened. Very few nega-
tive events that lead to anger and resentment occur in a vacuum.
Almost invariably, you did 
something
to contribute to the situa-
tion.You therefore need to have the maturity to take your share of
the responsibility.
You can then say,
“I am responsible. I shouldn’t have gotten into the
situation in the first place, or stayed in so long. I should not have done
what I did. I forgive him/her completely and let it go.”
