And More Bits

No overview or review of self growth is complete without including all of the aspects of personal development and that includes today's subjects; forgiveness and praise.

You should already know what forgiveness is so I won’t have to go into much detail on that one but I will say that forgiveness is not forgetting, it’s not allowing yourself to be a doormat but it is freeing yourself of the negative emotion that hurts you and not the person or situation that caused you any upset. And you do that for yourself not for someone else because you are the one that suffers if you don’t and you are the one that benefits if you do. If you want to read more on forgiveness, look back thru my posts because I know I have written about this before.

And this brings us to praise; when you learn to praise prior to an event or interaction you will find that things go much better than you ever imagined possible. Why is that? I can’t say for a fact but I would guess it is because you create an expectation of a good result. It’s kind of like appreciating before receiving, being grateful for what you are about to receive puts you into a better vibration so that the universe can match that with its own good vibration. When I know that I am about to contact someone, maybe a company that I am not on the same page with, I always take a minute to self talk, saying things like, I am so blessed by doing business with company X, I always get fast, efficient service and they correct any problems immediately. And guess what? I have found that this works like a charm nine times out of ten. But you be the judge; next time you need to contact a company, next time you are standing in line at the store, next time you go out to eat, praise the people that work for the company, be grateful you will be interacting with a good company and the best, fastest, nicest people that work for that company and then keep track of your results.
