Your Key To Freedom\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

Charles Kabera (Rwanda)<\/span><\/p>\n

Editors Note: This article is especially profound because the author was 28 years old when Rwanda experienced a genocide that led to the deaths of over 800,000 people in a three month period in 1994. He lost friends and relatives.<\/span><\/p>\n

The subject of forgiveness is something that represents a very important aspect of personal development. That’s why it is a major feature of all of the spiritual and wisdom traditions. They understood that forgiveness frees up and puts to better use the energy that is often consumed by holding grudges, harboring resentments and nursing unhealed wounds. Contrary to popular belief, forgiveness isn’t about the other person. It’s about freeing yourself – freeing up your own energy to move forward. There are three separate acts of forgiveness we need to perform. Here they are:<\/span><\/p>\n

Your Parents: There may be many things that have affected you and your life that are a direct product of your parents\u2019 decisions. But, provided they loved you, you can be sure that they did their best for you. Sure they may have made a few bad decisions along the way. That\u2019s just a part of being human. We all make bad decisions and, given the opportunity to live their lives again, they would have repeated their mistakes, as we all would. Hopefully, you will be full of respect for your parents and the sacrifices they made for you. Of course you were not able to see things this way when you were a child, growing up. But now, in retrospect, you can see what they did for you as well as what they didn\u2019t. Whatever you mentally hold them responsible for, let it go. Forgive them.<\/span><\/p>\n

Yourself: Secondly, you need to forgive yourself. Forgive yourself for all the things you know you did wrong. Forgive yourself for all the things you still manage to screw up from time to time. Forgive yourself for all your failures. You are not done making mistakes yet. You will continue to make decisions all the way through your life and some of them will be the wrong ones. So don\u2019t worry when that happens. You did your best. Accept it and let it all go.<\/span><\/p>\n

Everyone Else: Lastly, you need to learn to forgive everyone else. Forgive them for the bad things that have happened to you. Say to yourself, \u2018I forgive that person 100%\u2019 whenever the thought of a bad incident comes to mind. Do this repeatedly if necessary. Eventually, your subconscious mind will come to accept that you do actually forgive that person.<\/span><\/p>\n

Remember that by holding on to feelings of anger and bitterness about what has happened to you in the past, there is only one person suffering. So let such feelings go completely. You may be well justified in your anger or resentment . However justified you may feel or be, the emotions from that experience is like a ton of baggage that you are dragging through life. The only person it is hurting is yourself. As one author said, “it is like drinking rat poison yourself and expecting the rat to die!” Your key to real freedom is your ability to forgive<\/span><\/p>\n

What Our Students Are Saying<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

What Our Students Are Reading<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The Complete Idiot’s Guide To Reaching Your Goals<\/span><\/p>\n

by Jeff Davidson ($16.95)<\/span><\/p>\n

Do you set goals annually, such as at the start of the year, only to see them fizzle weeks or days later? As a larger issue, have you ever felt like you weren’t making any real progress in your career or personal life? Or, as if your simply repeating patterns that you can’t seem to break? Do you feel as if you have the potential to do what you set out to do but somehow keep missing the bus when it comes to the realization of your aspirations? If these and related issues have been tugging on your mind perhaps you need to learn or relearn the fundamentals of setting and achieving goals. This book focuses on effective techniques for setting and reaching goals, helping readers to program–or reprogram–themselves for success. The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Goal Setting is geared for people who have not systematically and conclusively incorporated goal settings procedures into their lives, or have but don’t seem to get the results they’re seeking. As such, readers learn effective methods for developing positive, worthwhile goals, including where and when to set them, how stay on top of them, and how to follow through to completion.<\/span><\/p>\n

Valuable Resources for Personal & Planetary Transformation<\/span><\/p>\n

New Stories<\/span><\/p>\n

www.newstories.org<\/span><\/p>\n

We believe many people are operating from a new vision of how deep change can occur in the world. Ordinary people everywhere are leading the way, not a privileged elite. Many of us seem to believe that if we can find clarity about what we can do, and then do it, the world will become a better place for everyone. We’ve moved away from grand strategies and master plans that seek to define and control particular outcomes. Many of us have started to speak of finding our own right alignment with spirit. We seek to clarify our own highest intentions, and then to act from them. In doing so, we trust that a larger, life-sustaining pattern will develop over time and that the common good will be served.<\/span><\/p>\n

Make A Difference<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Dream Team 22<\/span><\/p>\n

In January 2009 we launched a new idea which blends two previous endeavors: The Master Mind Group and the 22 Experiment. We are calling this Dream Team 22 and our goal is to have 220 people contributing $22 per month. We understand that money is energy and that to sustain and build IIGL we need a lot of people pouring their energy into this endeavor on a regular basis. We also know that not everyone can afford to commit $22 a month \u2013 especially our students, who live in countries with economies in which this amount can be equal to a weeks salary. So we are offering two options for those who wish to become a part of the Dream Team. One can commit to a $22 a month contribution or to spending 22 seconds each day holding the vision of IIGL becoming financially sustainable by the end of 2009.<\/span><\/p>\n

Will you join the Dream Team and help us create an energetic foundation to support the transformational work of IIGL? You can really make a difference in the world by making a modest contribution of time or money. To make the $22 a month commitment or a one time donation, click the link below. To become a member of the Dream Team 22 by committing 22 second a day to help us hold the vision, contact Michael for details: lightweave@aol.com<\/span><\/p>\n

Checks on US banks, payable to the International Institute For Global Leadership, can be mailed to PO Box 18909, Asheville, NC. 28814, USA.
