We often read of family members or friends who have been in conflict for years only to reconcile their differences when one of them is days away from leaving this world. So the question is, if we can forgive and heal at the end of life, why can’t we forgive and heal right now, today?
Imagine your final moments with someone whom you have clashed with for years. Would you remain hiding behind a brick wall of resentment with clenched fists and clenched heart, or would you step out into the rarefied air of compassion and forgiveness?
If you chose the latter, what’s stopping you from making that choice now? What are you afraid of? Getting hurt? When will you understand that someone can hurt you only because you gave them the power to do so? You will reclaim your power when you realize that the way somebody treats you is never about you, it’s about them.
Learn to live as if you were days away from dying, and you will finally perceive the beauty that lies just beyond every encounter, every experience and every breath you take. Then and only then will you know what it is to truly live.
