Forgiveness*
the secret to peace of mind
Until you forgive and let go of the bad that’s keeping your mind and life locked in the hold — or worse, begrudging — position, you will be unable to let in the good that will revive, replenish and reinvigorate you.
Interestingly when I ask audiences the question about committing to doing something if they agree with the word (forgiveness) I am about to tell them being the secret to peace of mind, nearly everyone raises their hand.
Next, when I ask how many of them need to forgive someone, nearly everyone again raises their hands.
Then when I ask how many of them also need to ask forgiveness from someone, half the audience raises their hands while half doesn’t
When I point out that those who raised their hands about needing to ask for forgiveness are relationship material while those in the group who didn’t, are not; I become someone that the non-hand raisers get to practice their forgiveness on.
BTW forgiveness means letting go of your negative feelings towards someone who has hurt you, it does not giving hurtful people who have hurt you a second to do it again.
*My thanks to Dave Hibbard, founder of Dialexis who told me after he had heard about the power of “forgiveness” from Caroline Myss.

Marshall Goldsmith and Patricia Wheeler invite you to a Thought Leader Teleforum
on Wednesday June 25th at noon Eastern time.
Our June TeleForum features author, columnist and coach Dr. Mark Goulston on “Prevent Your Career’s Greatest Tragedy,” moderated by Executive Coach Patricia Wheeler.
There is no charge for this TeleForum, which will be held on Wednesday June 25th at 9 AM Pacific/ noon Eastern.
Mark quotes Warren Buffett in saying to you:
“All of you have the ability to do anything I do and much beyond. Some of you will and some of you won’t. For those who won’t, it will be because you Get in Your Own Way, not because the world doesn’t allow you.”
Mark must agree because he wrote the best seller, Get Out of Your Own Way: Overcoming Self-Defeating Behavior and its sequel, Get Out of Your Own Way at Work…and Help Others Do the Same. In this TeleForum, learn what self-defeating behavior is, why you engage in it and most importantly how you can stop and replace it with success promoting behavior.
During this 60-minute conference call we will be discussing the three points below plus fielding your specific questions:
1. Will you get to the end of your career and life with no regrets?
2. How do you craft a career with no regrets?
3. How can you replace self-defeating behavior with success-promoting behavior?
