Initiative: Forgiving life.
Today is a new day to reflect on Our Self, those conflicts of the soul with which we constantly struggle, this new content is about a new initiative of our partner @selftheist : ✍️ Forgiving life.
The theme of our Life and Forgiveness , two concepts that encompass a content of events, each person has his own of life.
There are those who think that life is only a breath of God, others a gift, science itself has its own elaborate concept, however life goes far beyond concepts.
Each person develops his own experience, it depends on us that sense, the value of our life, the truth is that this right to life called Life is an opportunity, complex, transient, full of challenges and nourished with teachings.
Man's days are like the grass; he flourishes like the flower of the field, and the wind blows through it, and it perishes, and its place knows it no more (Psalm 103:15-16).
Every day we breathe, our heart beats, however we overlook those details, instead we fill our being with negative thoughts, questions, guilt, emotions that over time become stumbling blocks, in wounds not overcome that blind us and lead us to see this life as a prison.
Locked up in conflicts of the soul, in wrong concepts of Life, focused on mistakes, worries, the days go by and the pages of our History go by, the heart fills up with hate, inconformities with our life, thinking that everything would be different if I had taken advantage of my Youth to make better decisions.
Failures, Challenges, pains of the soul are part of our exclusive package of life, we are the protagonist of our Life.
We go through this life loaded with questions, looking for a meaning to everything that happens to us, mainly when we focus on everything bad that happens to us, because when our concept is that life is a Jail, we live looking for culprits for our bad luck, the first one to be pointed out is God.
In that conflict I lived a long part of my life, resentful because life was a burden, I felt aimless, following patterns of upbringing, listening to advice, but I needed to find the balance, decipher the riddles that I had in my mind.
Needed to find my way, to choose where I wanted to go, what I expected from my life, to set goals, to give myself courage, for a moment to stop thinking about what others expected from me and to answer myself what I expected from my life.
Many years of my life vanished in anger, in hatred, without taking anyone into account, without faith or hope, I was lost, I felt alone, although inside me there was a longing to be happy, I longed for that path but I was loaded with deposits in my soul of anger towards so many people, hatred was rooted in my being.
I have always said that in this life we learn by blows, for a while I looked at my life as a meaningless story, I was not able to find something positive, I was blinded by the hatred in my heart, until times passed, and the hard trials of life opened my eyes and I understood that I was wasting my time in meaningless things.
That reaction was a trigger in my being, I woke up and the first thing I removed was that hatred that prevented me from really seeing the positive side of life, life is a school, the future is an unknown, death is the end, the important thing now is my present, now I see my life as an opportunity.
✍️¿What is life for you?
✍️¿Has your perspective changed over time?
For me, to talk about Life is to refer to an open book with many teachings, opportunities, challenges, ready to turn page by page, each one molds his own life.
Life is constantly in motion, stories come and go, mine is a book where stories are still being written, in one page of it is recorded a change, one that directed my life towards new opportunities, happiness, a family, because that change from the negative to the positive side directed me to be a long time of my life living my best years.
Shedding the burden of hatred led me to forgive, to recognize that if anyone was to blame for much of all my calamities, it was me, because the Creator always has the best for us.
✍️ How do you think your worldview has benefited or hurt you during your life?
The years of my life in which I lived clinging to hatred and anger were years of torment, living in that timeline led me to a decadence in every way, I wanted to hurt others, I did not realize that I was hurting myself, living under that pattern is a conflict that destroys you inside
From those teachings, part of my life was molded, that time spent was not wasted time, that time led me to choose a change that came from within me, I needed it, I needed a guide, I found that cure in Faith.
In this life I needed to go through everything I had lived, it was necessary, without those experiences my life would be hollow, I needed courage, healing, to get to that point healed many wounds.
What would you like to improve about your outlook on life and therefore your state of mind?
There is something in this life that is inevitable and that is our emotions such as fear, insecurities always come, at this stage of my life I still struggle with that problem, if anything I want to handle is that area of my life.
This stage of my life is very sober, the path it has taken has good fruits, I am not complaining about it, I have learned to take the lessons, move forward, I know about forgiveness, I am also willing to ask for it if necessary.
Not everything in my life is perfect, as long as I have this breathing and strength every day, I will do my best, the negative and the positive will always be waiting, I am here to learn those lessons, even if some tests take time to qualify me.
At the end of the day to be content with life is a very interesting topic of reflection, well lucky or not, here we are learning in this Life until the farewell arrives and our place is taken by another participant.

thank you for reading this content
I am glad to read about your improvement. I too, went through the valley of shadow of death were pain was so great I wanted to hurt others. Filled with hate and resentment I watched my life going numb and meaningless... at some point I just knew something had to change, I just didn't know what it was until I found out I was responsible. It was me who had to change. Everything has improved ever since, so I share your satisfaction looking behind such a dark stage in our lives.
Somehow you realize, we could just keep hating and filling ourselves with resentment, but we didn't. Is like we raised ourselves from scratch and become our very own fathers.
I am convinced your story will inspire someone to keep finding the way out of the dark. We are the examples it is posible with patience and faith.
Woooow, this is very interesting, inspiring and beautiful, I felt every bit of emotions of yours in this write up and I am happy to see your improvement, this is a good topic and I love how you directed them to a Bible passage, well done man…
