Why You Need To Forgive Others - Lisa Nichols

[@gurudra]

Forgiveness happens within our own mind , it doesnt have anything to do with the other person and love knows how to forgive

[@electricred91]

Well said !

[@InnerVisionStudios]

This is on of the most difficult things for people to do but the most important thing to live a healthy and peaceful life. Forgive to set yourself free. Thanks for this video

[@321stephmc]

I have the opportunity to extend more patience and grace to my mother. I needed to hear this message RIGHT NOW.

[@ReganHillyerCoach]

Forgiveness will set YOU free. Thanks!

[@chigirl7243]

This message gave me revelation that I need to forgive myself and the father of my child. I am a single mother, I will be 40 years old in a few months, and I did not have my child as planned. I was angry at her father and at myself at how I became a mother and the journey it has forced me to face. Through the challenges,I strive to continue to grow. Being a mother, has put in places, I would not have been, had it not been for this journey. I saw the angry I give my child's father, and myself, and I know I have to FORGIVE. thank you for keeping me encouraged & inspired Ms. Nichols!

[@bertaidaliawong]

Forgiveness is not easy. And it´s definitely a huge burden to carry on with whatever you do not forgive. Tough... I need to find the balance between "I forgive you" and "you don´t get to hurt me again, ever" . Thanks Lisa for bringing this topic to my attention.

[@joniquehammett9472]

I found myself not wanting to forgive others for the things they have done to me but i wanted others to forgive me, i ten stop and ask myself how do you expect to be forgiven but can't forgive. So I've learned oh to foegive.

[@heartandsoulalchemy]

"Who have you been holding hostage to something that they've done? How many hours have you lost? ... How many days? How many weeks? How many years?" This question woke me up! Years. I've been holding myself hostage for years. This stops TODAY! Now. My inner real estate is too important. I want to be filled with love and compassion and vision for what's possible. Thank you, Lisa! Your life is an inspiration! You are beautiful inside and out.

*Forgiveness Is For You FIFY*

[@jazziemeka]

Hi Lisa. I have come to a point recently that there are some people in my life I dont need in my life. I had to work through loving them from a distance. I recent let go of a 15 year prison sentence. I finally gave it up to God. I realized now that I just want peace just like you said. I know that I can forgive and give the rest to God doesn't mean I accept their behavior but it cant ride on my journey. I am living my peace i am happy. Finding joy in my journey. I still have a way to go but peace is wonderful. Thank you for this. I didnt want to watch this because i am a grudge holder but i knew i needed to watch it. Thank you. Love you

[@Sophie_861]

I simply love you Lisa 😍😍💕💕 I'm 27 and I wish to grow old with you. I pray for your good health and long life. I love you. 💕💕

[@dinawilliams7161]

I forgive my sisters, and my ex. I may not extend the olive branch but I'm happy to say I'm moving forward with my Life. Thank U, Lisa🙏🏽

[@taasharenee]

DIVINE TIMING IS RIGHT. I felt this conversation at the end of Speak & Write in the beginning of the month and Im feeling it all over again. This was definitely heavy on my heart today. My BOL was thinking about the time and hours I lost while holding on to the anger of what is or isn't. I am giving myself permission to forgive my mother in law, because on the other end of that is a PEACE OF MIND! I want my legacy and the quality of my relationships to speak volumes and sometimes, just sometimes....although you might not agree, there is always room for compassion and perspective. I love you Lisa.

[@lyodan9131]

I open the space of forgiveness regarding a disagreement I had some time ago. It does Not matter Who was to blame. Maybe I, maybe her, maybe both. I learned that on my side there was Lack of Courage and self esteem that created suffering. I let go of blame, guilt and shame. And consciously decide right here and now to replace It with compassion, wisdom and empathy. I let go, I forgive and transform this situation within myself. Thank you Lisa Hearing your words and Feeling your Energy was most needed to allow some higher frequencies in. Peace, love and grace to you.

[@martaartmeier]

#BOL# "We are good people making wrong decisions" so truth! This made me to understand, why I suppose to forgive myself all mistakes and STOP judging myself for making them. I finally understood, Lisa! God bless you for all good I learn from you! ...Matt, where are you? I miss mornings with you! ...

[@PowerfulU]

Forgiveness is key to living a great life. Forgive for yourself, you deserve it.

[@ericaneese3401]

Wonderful video! I especially needed to hear this point: If I make mistakes and I know that I am a good person, what about the people in my life as well? Give someone the grace of forgiveness, understanding, and compassion! Stop looking through my lenses, and take the time to look at life through their lenses! ❤

[@elenaandrews9153]

Hi Lisa, I liked what you said - Step out of your shoes and step in into the shoes of the other person. I needed to hear that. Thank you!

[@sakhilefakudze9654]

"Forgive for who not for what"...I felt that. thank you Lisa

[@christinamurphy8171]

Forgive myself and those I deeply trusted. Earlier today I was healed from my past pain and anger...I forgive ALL of me and ALL those that I held hostage to so much pain.

[@raoulwalravens4350]

Thank you Lisa just what we need in our family right now. Yesterday we had a care frontation with all the family members. A lor of unprocessed emotions came up. I think many of us are being helped with this wisdom. Thanks for that again !

[@montsefiguera4619]

Hey Lisa! I love hearing your open dialogues ❤️ I’ve experienced forgiveness from my part to others and from other towards me and as you said it’s the most freeing experience. It is such an act of grace, every experience is an opportunity for expanding compassion towards self and others the best is Its a choice…. Meaning we always have the choice to free ourselves. I am in forgiveness is one of my favorite affirmations 🌈🌈 thanks for sharing

[@jacquaydavis3019]

Reading Abundance Now taught me to forgive. It also helped me to have those forgiving conversations without blaming anyone. Forgiveness lifted weights off my shoulders I never knew were there. Lisa, I loved seeing you at the Bank of America broadcast & I was sooo happy to get a picture with you!! Admire you so much!!

[@BM-mo7xt]

I actually love you. Thank you for your beautiful light and real-ness. I adore your words. Thankyou for being my teacher. 🙌❤

[@wecreatebrandinggroup]

Thanks for this video!! I am struggling right now with being forgiving towards one person that does the same thing to me over and over and NOT asking for forgiveness. I know it is important for me to forgive no matter if they ask or not. Dealing with a person who has not come to terms with alcoholism is very hard and emotional. So, I also forgive myself for allowing this person to be a constant drain in my life.

[@kljsfid18]

I need to extend my compassion to myself. Thank you Lisa! You re awesome😍😍😘❤️

[@MaroArmoni]

God, I love you Lisa!!! I wish to meet you one day. Thank you so much for sharing this incredible video, I feel alone often times and your videos make me feel like I have a personal friend talking to me everyday. I haven't spoken to my sister for 11 full months and theirs a lot of forgiveness that needs to take place. I'm 21 and when you said "when I was in my 20's, if someone burned me once, I'd draw that line". Unfortunately, that's exactly how I am. If someone hurts me once or twice, my relationship with that person, be it anyone will never be the same, and I'd draw that line and never trust them or really connect with them again. I truly struggle so much with forgiveness. However, It's by forgiving others through compassion, ultimately brings you peace at the end of the day. Thank you so much for this amazing video. It came at such a perfect time. Love you so much Lisa, you are truly my Sister, whom I have so much respect for ♥️❤️❣️💓💗💖🤗

[@paulineochieng5956]

Oh Lisa you created this video for me. Thank you my big sister I think I needed to hear this word in this version. YANA I will do my part are create space in my real estate. I will FORGIVE

[@nat-natc.8142]

I am in tears!! Thank you so much Lisa for this message. I had believed in my heart that I had forgiven everyone from my past, but it turns out that I still have a lot of emotions to sort out. I still need to forgive myself, especially for making an "imperfect decision at the perfect time." I truly appreciate that statement. As 2019 comes to an end, I will strive to pray and work out my innermost feelings to let go of the hurt and begin giving grace to myself..... daily. Thank you Lisa for your wonderful work, I appreciate YOU! -Nat

[@sophierosenberg1294]

#BOL @5:12 in a perfect moment, you made an imperfect decision. I have the opportunity to extend forgiveness, understanding and compassion to my boyfriend. I don't pardon his behavior but what you've said helps me to understand his perspective. I've lost 6 months holding him hostage as he has apologized and humbly pleaded for forgiveness. Ms. Lisa Nichols, thank you for sharing your wisdom. I needed to hear this. God bless you.

[@inassh8685]

You brought me to tears.. I hope to forgive him.. I am still in contact with him for our son.. THANKS

[@nequilamessimer9376]

#BOL I've always thought forgiving meant excusing behavior! I have kept distance in many areas as a "protection " mechanism and have struggled with forgiving and still being in my space. Thank you ! Thank you ! Thank you ! Forgiveness doesn't mean behaviors are acceptable, it means we are human and make mistakes !

[@inspirationalingridjuly]

Beautiful! 💗Yes Forgiveness so we can have peace & joy ignited in our hearts & live life to our fullest ! 🙏😇

[@candicecam]

Hi Lisa, when you said how many minutes, hours, weeks, and years have been wasted thinking about being angry and not forgiving someone was my ah hah moment.

[@sharonann229]

Wow!!! Just spoke to my Spiritual Daughter about forgiveness, to be specific, a family member whom I thought I was pretty much done with came to mind!! God DOES know how to divinely orchestrate opportunities to get through to His people. I forgive him and wont spend time on the energy of the "for what." I must stay free, so all unforgiveness must flee from me, cuz I dont want no hinderences stopping me from pursuing my destiny and victory in Jesus' name, amen!!! Thanks so much Lisa for being led by the Holy Spirit of God on this very important discussion!!!☝👀☝👃☝👂🙏❤❤

[@lavannyagoradia9694]

"Dont focus on what they did cuz that'll grow the energy of they did" - such an important take away for me. I've found myself unable to move on in terms of a Fulfilling Relationship because I am extremely cautious of betrayal and looking for signs of "what's going to go wrong in this case." And because I am always looking for the wrong, i find the wrong! Is a vicious cycle that I've found myself unable to get out of. Unable to create that beautiful relationship that I could've and unable to really forgive. I find it that I need that lesson in "How to Forgive?" . Thank you Lisa for bringing this up at the right time. I needed to hear this. #BOL

[@akuchmaryriak6826]

I forgive easily but never forget the experience or pain caused. I need to work on forgetting the pain and let go. Thank You for this it means a lot.

I want to find my breath! Forgiveness is essential for Freedom. I need all of my being/real estate to be open and available for growth and experiences. Forgiveness for Roxann/myself and my Dad are at the core of needs to be met. Doing My part daily for peace of mind, grace and ease.

[@biancaheath6801]

My aha: focus on The Who. The Who is so important. I realized the importance of that person in my life and how much time and opportunity I lost from holding on the anger and resentment

[@mohamedbenhadj]

Hi Lisa. this is my first comment I post for your video but I have seen almost all of them. I think it touched me deep somewhere in my soul to add this comment. I think that sometimes we do not forgive because we fear other people perception of us. we think we fail. Actually forgiveness is very often missed up with giving up.

[@tjsproles4992]

Yes, this was very much a divinely timed message, Lisa! I was just lamenting about a heart-wrenching experience I had with a man a couple of years ago. Forgiving him for the emotional torment he brought to my world has been THE MOST CHALLENGING thing I've EVER experienced in my life!!! I glanced at my phone just to shift my thoughts so that I wouldn't start complaining and reminiscing about that horrible time in my life...and I saw your lovely face on the screen notifying me of this video. I truly "listened" to your message of forgiveness and it reminded me that forgiving him is for MY own sake, not for him. I'll probably never see him again, but I have to find a way to live with the memory of that experience and how it brought out the worst in me, yet it brought me to my knees and drew me closer to God and to gaining a better understanding of myself. Perhaps that was the whole point in God allowing me to go through that awful time. I keep saying to myself that I "forgive" him, but the residue of resentment still lingers in my heart and mind. I'm still in prayer asking God to help me find my way and serve a great purpose, but sometimes I still feel trapped in my mind because of my past experiences. Meanwhile, I appreciate you for doing your part to help people like me to find our way. I may never meet you, but know that you were one of the first people I started listening to when I began this journey to heal from the experience to which I made recerence (I don't call it a "relationship" because that word connects me to him too intimately). It helps me to know that I am not alone in terms of hearing that others have lived through and even thrived after experiencing connections that have made the bitter side of life a reality. But, it is also encouraging to know that some of those same people are now on the other side and are living the sweetest life they've ever known! You serve as a role model in that regard to me. Thank you for having the courage to share your story! 😊 #LemonsToLemonade

[@journeyofasister]

Thank you Lisa, I learned the lesson that forgiveness is about ME, not the other person. When I put myself in their shoes, I was able to have compassion and empathy to why they treated me the way they did, and forgive. Plus we're not perfect, and have no doubt offended others, so in order to be forgiven, we must forgive 💚

[@barbara_j_hunt]

Hi Lisa - I love what you're saying and all that you are about in the world. Totally agree that forgiveness is an essential ingredient of relationships. Totally agree that forgiveness isn't what we think it is - we can forgive, but still set really clear boundaries. My favourite definition of forgiveness is..."the absolute refusal to hold ill will against someone for what they did or didn't do..." That puts the power totally in your hands... If anyone gets stuck with forgiveness, I heartily suggest they check out which of the five major obstacles to forgiveness might be getting in their way - as outlined in my book Forgiveness Made Easy - the revolutionary guide to moving beyond your past and truly letting go..... You CAN forgive if you want to - if you're willing, like you say, Lisa... you may just need a little help with the HOW... Love and blessings xxx

I just had the thought when I encourage my kids to ask for forgiveness I always tell them to say what they did to the other person. Is it really necessary now? They are very small people, 6 and under. Your comment has me questioning whether requiring them to go beyond “I’m sorry, I apologize” reinforces the unwanted behavior. Definitely want to hear your thoughts on this.

Advice to those who listen: - Before you talk about other people's perceived flaws, ask yourself this: "Do I have this flaw ?" - Before you ask someone why he/she did or didn't do something, ask yourself this: "What would I have done if I were in his/her shoes ?" - Before you give an advice, ask yourself this: "Do I practice it or not ?"

Well when you have borderline personality disorder it's not easy to forgive when forgiveness was always given in the past just for ass clowns to continue to try people over and over again. I'm not ready to forgive anymore. My anger is the only thing that's real cuz when I'm being kind and caring I'm taken advantage of. Some people need to just perish from the planet and don't deserve to be here. PERIOD.
