Word of the Week

I introduced the Word of the Week to help us improve our working knowledge of the English language. Your part if you choose to participate is to be aware of and use each word for the entire week whenever the opportunity presents itself. This way we will all increase our vocabulary and our knowledge of the English language supplying us with a very effective tool to utilize on our road to success.

temerity

te·mer·i·ty /təˈmerəti/ noun

the quality of being confident and unafraid of danger or punishment.

From a poem entitled “It’s No Surprise”

“Eyes exuding sincerity,

understanding, temerity,

is why I love you.”

More on Forgiveness

If we wish to experience complete happiness, fulfillment, peace, joy, and health in our lives it is imperative we learn how to first forgive others, and then to forgive ourselves. By our thoughts we are the sole creators and possessors of our ills, not God, not our neighbor, nor any other outside influence.


James Allen gives us; Man is made or unmade by himself, in the armory of his thought he forges the weapons by which he destroys himself.


When we harbour feelings of guilt, anger, jealousy, remorse or any of the myriad of negative emotions toward others or our self we essentially reduce or cut off the supply of all that is good coming to us. We become disconnected, in disharmony with our creative source, which brings us love, peace, joy, prosperity, health and all that is good. Forgiveness is more for our well being than that of the other person. We only hurt ourselves by refusing to forgive. In essence we are punishing ourselves. Why would we want to do that?


These negative emotions set up an environment conducive to sickness and disease of all kinds. This is not theory but scientifically proven fact. These emotions create an acidic environment in the body making it a breeding ground for all manner of sickness from mental illness, to seasonal colds, to cancer.


Keep in mind forgiveness does not mean we forget for there are valuable lessons to be learned when we are wronged or we wrong someone else and correct it. What it does mean is we are able to recount the incident without attaching negative emotion to it. Until you have done this you have not truly forgiven the person or yourself.


To forgive we must reconnect with the Infinite Intelligence that is in all of us and see each person as their true self, which is love, peace and harmony. We must understand it is through ignorance and small mindedness we are done ill by. Develop compassion for those who are out of touch with their Inner Self and wish for them what we would wish for ourselves. Wish love, peace, joy, wisdom, and all the blessings of life to others and yourself but above all love for love is the only way to wizen the roots of unforgiving.
