Karen recently asked me… “Babe, what has been your greatest life accomplishment?”
My answer surprised her. It wasn’t what she thought it was.
– It wasn’t getting through school, although that was tough
– It wasn’t getting 5 promotions in 5 years.
– It wasn’t the fact that I built up the courage to come out to my family, with whom I was raised Catholic growing up.
– It wasn’t starting my biz at age 25.
– It wasn’t earning 6 figures in my business in 12 months…
It was the fact that I have been able to genuinely FORGIVE the people who hurt me.
You see, this “accomplishment” set me free beyond anything I could imagine.
One of my first mentors told me – Chrissy, when you genuinely forgive naturally you forget.
And he was right.
At the time I didn’t understand.
Until I set myself free. And now I get it. The penny dropped.
And when I say “naturally you forget” – it’s not about forgetting what happened. It’s about forgetting the “power” it had over you.
Perspective and perception are life changers.
Reclaiming your POWER and living from your truth, instead of the hurt from what you’ve experienced is also a life changer.
So, my question to you is…
What is your greatest life accomplishment?
For me it was forgiveness. Because as I forgave, as I let go, and as I set myself free.
It’s given me the opportunity to see people for who they are and not just what they do.
It’s given me the opportunity to empathize and realize if they hurt me, and if that’s their projection then shit they must have been suffering within themselves too…
It’s given me the opportunity to help my clients to set themselves free also…
It’s given me the opportunity to make a difference to thousands of people.
And it’s provided me with the fuel I need to live my mission and to help others to break their vicious family cycle.
It’s not about the “big things” … often the smallest of things have the biggest impact.
I love you.
I see you.
I feel you.
You’re not alone.
It’s time for you my friend. To let it go and set yourself free too.
