Now nothing stands still, and everything either takes you towards what
you desire, or away from it. Those feelings clearly did not take me towards what
I desired, so logically they held no benefit. So the point of me desiring to hold
them would be? None, there is no benefit. It was obvious I needed to let them
go, so I learnt the power of surrender and I’m about to show you how you can
do it easily too. After all, we all really would like to be able to let this stuff go…
If you said no, then you were not present, it was your ego. Say hello and smile
every time you notice him or her as they become more visible to you. Appreciate
it when they show themselves as they are sowing the seeds of their own soon to
be defeat.
Firstly I’d imagine quite a few people will be thinking, “How can I forgive
that person? After all Andy, you don’t know what they did to me.” Or there will be
people thinking, “If I give up my resentment then this person could harm me.” Well, no
they can’t harm you. The only way they can harm you is if you give them
permission to. Therefore, I simply do not give people permission to harm me.
And to those who can’t let go of what someone did to them, well guess what?
They didn’t do it to them just then, they are still doing it to them today.
Because you are giving them permission to. You are allowing another person
who did something bad to you before, to have control over your life today.
What’s more, they don’t even know it, you are the only one who does,
and if you say they do know it, then is this person really worthy of your further
time and consideration? Anyone who does something hurtful to another only
does so when they are unconscious and therefore, how can you be angry at
someone for doing something in their sleep?
If you really do desire or ‘want’ happiness and riches, eventually you will
need to make a decision to give up all resentment. If you don’t then you can’t
have a serene life – and trust me you really ‘want’ that! Also it is extremely
unlikely that you’ll ever become abundantly rich unless you surrender.
There is a slim chance, well less than 1% that you could create riches and
still hang on to your resentment baggage… but what’s the point? You’ll get to
the destination; you’ll be rich and be able to say, ‘See told you so!’ Do you really
think that thought is helping you get there? Maybe you think it motivates you, so
you are unhappy now and then you’ll be happy when you are able to say that.
Well fortunately it doesn’t work like that. To be happy, to get happiness, you
have to be happy and you have to have happiness. But I don’t expect you to let
go of everything like that right now, so keep carrying that baggage if it makes
you feel more complete. There’ll be a time soon when you will look at it and
realise that you should have put it down long ago. You’ll turn away and it will
have dissolved; one day you’ll think, hey, when did I let go of that? It doesn’t
really matter when, just that you did.
