When I face my deepest pain, what I feel most is resentment. I see that I hold so much resentment about the human experience.
Deep down, I resent that all of us have to live through heartbreaking stuff while blindly navigating our way. I hate the powerlessness that we as humans are conditioned to maintain. We have lived so separate from love and felt fearful of the freedom we deserve. I absolutely resent that we all have to endure such pain.
At a more personal level, I resent that I have really hurt people while finding my way and following my heart. I resent that people have hurt me, especially in my youth when all I wanted was to belong. No matter how much gratitude I feel for life, my resentment lies buried underneath, and it is asking to be healed.
Resentment lies at the core of human pain. But it leaves me disempowered. It keeps me stuck and complaining. I become a victim whose only voice is blame. I point the finger outside and forget that the reflection starts within.
We all create the world we live in. It is time to consciously own this power. It is time to move from “Woe is me” to “I chose to be here right now.” But this means healing our deepest wounds.
The cure for resentment is forgiveness. It is a process of no longer owning pain. And at some point, we realize that we have to forgive ourselves the most. We reach a hell so deep that it becomes obvious that self-forgiveness is the only way out. This forgiveness transforms us at the core and purges our humanity clean.
What comes next is a peace so wide and a freedom beyond the clouds! Right now, I am experiencing this freedom myself, and it is more expansive than my wildest dreams!
I want this freedom for all of us, and with it we will change the world. But it requires an internal shift that begins with a question: are you feeling resentful or empowered? Do you walk around with resistance, or are you open to consciously create? By choosing the latter, you become the beautiful creator you are. And we all want this for you as much as you want it for yourself.
