Part 4: The Wheel Of Life

Forgiving

The wheel of life would not be complete without the ability to forgive. Forgiveness is the test of true love. And if we are to make a difference in our world, then the ability to forgive is what allows the wheel of life to balance and align.

If you are unable to forgive unconditionally, I believe your ability to move forward in life will be difficult. Bitterness that is carried too long will ultimately impede your vision. For the wheel of life to rotate in perfect alignment, all four components must be complete.

Giving, living, and loving can not take place without the ability to forgive. Forgiveness is the truest form of love and the ultimate way to live. Forgiveness is the hardest act of all four components, without it alignment in your wheel of life is not possible.

For me success is achieving fulfilled happiness. I am convinced that no matter how you measure success, you will not achieve fulfilled hope and happiness without first building your life’s foundations on giving, living, loving and forgiving.

Forgive
Let go and grow.

It is deep from within our hearts, that forgiveness is conceived. Our journey is too short, so forgive those misdeeds.

It is the wise who move forward, gently with the breeze. Let the wrongs of yesterday be gone, for it is forgiveness that sets you free.

Your future is today not yesterday or tomorrow, we have today and all it offers don’t hold on to yesterday’s sorrow.

For all the love on earth, the greatest gift of all is to stand, put out your hand, let go and grow.
