Hope! It is such a personal thing, holding hope for life, for love, holding hope for peace and forgivenessā¦ but when should we give up hope?
When should be stop holding on to past love, past relationshipās?
āForgiveness is the release of all hope for a better past!ā ā Buddy Wakefield
I Have read so many posts on media saying let go, donāt let them back in, donāt speak to them, donāt, donāt, donāt respond, don’t give love or forgiveness!!! I just can not buy this kind of noise… its not compassion…
But love, real LOVE… love that we have held, nurtured, and felt, just doesnāt go away. There are multiple levels of love, sometimes called āSOULMATESā or āTWINFLAMESā these phrases are spiritually real, and although some would consider them nonsense, the reality is we are drawn to those who feel a deeper connection to our own soul, be it an earthy or a spiritual connectionā¦
Yes, there are people who will or have used you as a stepping stone in their life, who spoke about love, who may have even said the words āI love youā but letās be honest with life, honest with ourselves and honest with each other.
If someone has just slammed the door of life shut, refuses to communicate and most of all refuses to offer you forgiveness.
Take a breath and let that feeling of hope for that connection go.
As Najwa Zebian shares in his quote, ādo not deny your soul its rightsā
āThe day I decided to forgive youā
āToday,
I decided to forgive you.
Not because you apologised or because you acknowledged the pain that you caused me, but because my soul deserves ā Peaceā¦
I will not deny my soul its rights”Ā
itās not that you have to stop feeling love for those who have left your life, itās not that you must treat them with the same distain, in fact you must offer them love and light. More importantly itās that you must give yourself room to breathe and emotionally settle back into your own oneness.
Hope, much like other forms of faith is based on feelings, experiences and lessons learnt, we all hope for love, we all hope for deeper connections and we ALL hope not to be hurt or let down againā¦ all of usā¦ We are human and we will make mistakes, we will fail and we will experience trauma of many kinds in this lifetime. It is hope that gets us through those moments, hope that is bound to us on a deeply personal level, our own feelings of what is real for us.
The difficulty is that there is a BIG difference between healing from something and ignoring itā¦
“Time alone doesnāt heal every wound”
The difficulty of not having closure and holding hope is that Time will not heal when hope keeps feeding the desire to remain connected to that moment, be it love, trauma or griefā¦
If we hold on to hope, we must hold on to it for the right reasons, hold on to hope to help dreams come true, love to blossom and happiness to comeā¦
There is no point of holding on to hope that someone in your past will come back, or will re-open to you, especially if they have closed the door on your life without empathy or compassion. Let them goā¦
Let hope be something that brings love and light to your life… do not give up on hope, just make sure you understand that hope should be kept for the things that bring love and light to your life ~ Leo ā The motive
