For this country try dey enjoy because life no get duplicate.
This why I am trying to let go of pains and burdens that is holding me back right now. The one thing I have to sacrifice for are old grudges and throughout my life I have seen how trying to hold on to anger can really bring you down like a bag of cement.
For years I have been carrying these grudges against a friend. He betrayed my trust. For a business day he cheated me and that anger was eating me up and I know it was just trying to not let go or else I won't go through my personal life comfortably.
So this had really hit me during a family meeting that was held last month. My uncle was sharing a story to us how he forgave someone. A woman who got cheated on him and how it helped him to free his conscience and focus more on his life and his goals. So then I realized that the grudge I was carrying was just like a barrier to my life, stopping me from getting new opportunities.
I was just so focused on the past that I wasn't even giving my attention anymore to the future, That is depreciating or trying to network or get new clients.
So now I've decided to just forgive myself. Just for myself. I wrote a letter to pour out my feelings when it was out. The act felt like I'm taking off the heavy load from my body. I've been feeling better.
Last night I landed a job from a referrer from a friend and I was so happy and I thanked him. Now I can say I have a free mind now.
Sometimes when we forgive we know the pain still lingers around us but it will always be there. It will always be there. It does not erase the pain completely but it will give you space to heal yourself again and to dream back get your dream back again.
In a country like nigeria where life can be very hard the price of things are going up every day when you hold on grudges you add them all to your stress. You have to sacrifice those grudges. So if you're caring too much, you're carrying that anger, that burden in you, just let it go, it will not do you any good
It's not easy I know but it's still worth it, you still deserve to move forward in your life and shine irrespective of what others have done to you. What need to sacrifice right now in your life, do it and make the perfect and correct change so that you live a good and peaceful life.
