Tips for Sales Managers: Get the Winning Edge with Forgiveness
How To Speed Up Your Life As A Sales Manager With Forgiveness
How important is forgiveness and why would you want to “set people free”?
First off, let’s cover the first misnomer about forgiveness, that to forgive means to excuse the behavior or approve of it. It is none. Forgiveness is pure and simple the act of moving away your negative energy (resentment, anger, fear) from an event that happened in the past. The decision to continue in a relationship (business or personal) is a separate decision from the decision to forgive.
Why make the decision today to forgive? Because your resentment isn’t hurting them, it’s hurting you. No matter what they have done or not done, what they have said or never said, this problem now rests with you and your decision to recreate the pain is truly your choice.
Forgiveness is, after all, for you! It may surprise you, but it’s true. That person you hold a grudge against has long since forgotten or repressed the guilt (if he had any) for what he did. Holding that grudge doesn’t hurt them one bit, but it could hurt you immensely, both emotionally and physically.
Holding a grudge against another person is like drinking poison and waiting for the other person to die!
Why not give yourself the gift of freedom? Release all that energy you have against another person and use it to create something wonderful in your life. With all this new energy, you will be able to speed up your own life in many beautiful ways.
You could paint a picture, ride a bike, go hiking, start a business, volunteer, eat a donut, bake a cake, read a book, meditate, make your heart sing. When was the last time your heart really bleed? Maybe it’s time to get your heart out for karaoke!
Are you ready to forgive?
That is how:
- Imagine the person you want to forgive (maybe it’s you).
- Imagine that you are standing in a beautifully ornate white and chrome shower stall, dressed in a long flowing white robe.
- As you turn on the shower with your mind, a white light comes out of the shower head, no wait, it’s coming from way above.
- This pure white light is now bathing you, washing away all your resentments and flushing them down the drain. Feel what it is like to release all that anger and fear. It goes down the drain. Oh bliss…
- See them smile… feel yourself smile… start at the top with the next person.
How long will this take? As long as it takes. Enjoy the trip!
