One thing about being a cat that lives in the same space as humans is they are much smaller than we are so sometimes we don’t see them. I couldn’t even begin to count how many times I’ve tripped over or stepped on a cat. Usually they’re smart enough to get out of the way, but sometimes circumstances conspire against us. It’s nothing personal, it’s unintentional, it just happens.
Life is like that so often for us as well. Someone says something hurtful or they let a door slam in your face or they tell someone else your secret. There are so many things that others do that we take to heart and refuse to forgive.
Take a lesson from the cat, forgive, let it go.
Permission or Forgiveness?
Most of us naturally want others to like our ideas. We want to be justified and given a pat on the back for how smart we are. We want to be accepted. But are you willing to change who you are, what you want and modify your great ideas for that approval? If so, your life will be small and unfullfilling.
