“The most important thing I have learned is the word ‘forgiven’. Forgiveness changed my life forever.” Join Margaret as she explores how forgiveness is a gift received from the healing of past trauma, how to learn to forgive and why you have to dig deep into the root core of your pain in order to forgive.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• When you face life threatening traumas, all the baggage laden thoughts that usually burden your mind will eventually slip away like leaves falling from trees into autumn.
• Forgiveness can get lost in multiple life challenging storms and layers of conflicting beliefs, habits and external influences.
• We are in an era surrounded by violence, anger, and bitterness that we scarcely notice. It is so common in our lives and in our society and media that we accept it as normal as a kind of background noise.
• We ourselves put so much pressure on forgiveness and how it is an act of strength and deliverance. Yet it seems that our society justifies the way the world is today and the expense of peace, love, and forgiveness.
• Forcing ourselves to forgive or pretending to forgive when we really have can actually prevent us from healing and moving on with our life.
• Forgiveness is the seed of personal and spiritual growth and self-worth. It comes from the heart, and it's a healing process in which you make a conscious decision to let go, whether the person deserves it or not.
• To generally forgive and release our suffering, we have to dig deep into the root core of our pain and confront what triggered the feeling of anger and resentment.

BEST MOMENTS“The ability to forgive is a gift received from the healing of trauma.”
“The common misconception about forgiveness is that most of us think it's a feeling.”
“Forgiveness is a doing. Not a feeling, but it's a hard thing to do.”

ABOUT THE HOSTA few years ago, Margaret underwent several life-threatening traumas, including domestic abuse, and almost killed by her ex-partner, kidney and brain cancer, mental health issues, and a near-death experience. Her life was encapsulated in darkness, and she welcomed the thought of dying. From a breakdown to a breakthrough, these words from Viktor Frankl’s book, Man's Search For Meaning, changed her life forever: “The existence of life is to suffer; to survive is to find meaning in suffering.” Once she became aware of this, her life changed, and choose to live each day like it's her last…
