Ask Dali Mama

DEAR DALI MAMA:

What’s the best way to forgive? I want to be a forgiving person but I just can’t let something go.

—Still Angry (Japan)

DEAR S.A.:

Thank you so much for asking that question. Forgiving someone or something can be challenging indeed. Practice seeing the divine in that person or the divine lessons in a situation. See too the imperfect human or less-than-ideal situation while seeing the divine perfection.

If it helps, think about times when you did things that others found unforgivable and recognize that those things you did were all steps to you learning how to be a better and wiser person.

Thank you for being loving enough to ask this question.

Blessings.
