I posted a status update recently which said, “You can’t hit a home run if you don’t step up to the plate.” I received a reply, “True. And if you don’t step up to the plate, you can’t strike out.”

In this episode of Forgive To Win, Walter Jacobson M.D. talks about Forgiveness and the many aspects of forgiving.  What is the definition of forgiveness? Why do we hold onto resentment? What can happen if we don’t move on from painful situations from the past?  What is an emotional prison? How do we detach from a bad experience? Those who don’t forget the past are doomed to repeat it!  What is a fear thought?

The number of people we need to forgive is relatively small.  But the number of people we need to stop judging is infinite!! Listen to Walter give us advice from his years of experience as a practicing psychiatrist as he shares his wisdom and knowledge with us: http://www.blogtalkradio.com/forgivetowin/2011/07/14/the-forgive-to-win-radio-show-episode-five

Years ago a co-worker was in the hospital dying of AIDS. We didn’t like each other but I went to see him to help lift his spirits. Before entering his room I decided I wouldn’t see his illness, I would see a human being deserving of love. We spent an exhilarating hour together laughing & sharing the joy of our lives. In that brief time we brought each other closer to God. Have you experienced a miracle in your life?

How does Shakespeare help us to understand what self-loathing and self-sabotage are?  Do our thoughts create our experiences?  Does our identity come from our experiences?  How does NOT being able to do things help us to move forward in our lives?  What is projection?  Does it really take 21 days to form new habits?  What lessons can parents learn about raising their children to be happy and healthy?
