My mind used to be focused on petty grievances.  I kept score on everything, EVERYTHING.  I felt that I really had to keep score and that if I didn’t, people would take advantage of me.

I truly believed that I had to hold onto my grievances as some kind of protection against further injury.  I didn’t understand that I was hurting myself by trying to protect myself.

Any time that we are withholding Love, being in a punishing mindset then we’re actually hurting ourselves – in more ways than we can do.

Fortunately, we can stop at any moment and “drop it like it’s hot.”

We can go the other way instantly.

We have that ability.

I feel blessed and grateful that I don’t hold my past against myself anymore.  I don’t feel guilty or ashamed of any part of my past.  I have some regrets, but I hold them lightly and that’s the great gift of doing the forgiveness work that we do in this ministry.

In my most recent podcast episode, Transforming Attachments to Sin and Suffering, I talk about how we can release the old and sometimes very sticky attachments to a belief in sin and suffering.

When things feel sticky, when the attachment feels strong, the thing for us to remember is that ALL we need is willingness.

We don’t have to know how to let it go, we just have to be willing to let it go.

Willingness transforms so many difficulties.

Having a spiritual practice that cultivates willingness is a total game-changer.

We can have that.

That’s the gift of A Course in Miracles.

“When I said “I am with you always,” I meant it literally. I am not absent to anyone in any situation.” T-7.III.1. This is what Jesus is telling us very clearly.  We can choose to remember this truth, or not.

We’re never alone.

But we can choose to believe we’re alone and then see how intensely we feel it.

Willingness is a gift that we get to share by demonstrating how it’s done.  Let’s do our best!
