Grab your refreshing beverage and get ready to think about three words, not i love you.😁

Since the lockdown began in Lagos, Nigeria to curb the spread of the Covid 19, my sweet liitle nephew has been around to keep my company. So, i want to share with you what i learnt from him for the past few weeks now.

Have you noticed kids who disagree with other kid(s) and are crying one moment are back playing with the same kids the next moment? Did you know that kids easily forgive, forget, and move on with expectations of happy moments together? Kids don't keep grudges against each other.
They forgive easily.

This virtue in kids on forgiveness atrracted me to dig in to get a deeper understanding of the situation.  Adults have piled up baggage of memories, feelings and crushed ambitions. We, teenagers, youths,adults, have all dealt with putting up fronts, facades, fake emotions, etc. in an attempt to fit in and get along with others. Indeed, this has made it difficult to forgive and eventually we spend time being hurt over and over again.

Children in their purest form, do not accumulate the baggage nor have they disguised themselves to fit in. However, it will do us more good if we learn from kids about forgiving others, being forgiven, and moving on without wasting time being hurt.

I noticed that kids pour out how they feel about people that hurt them in an humorous manner. Once they feel offended, they stay away from for you but in few seconds they want to be wrapped in your arms. You should also show your emotions beacuse it helps to eliminate the guesswork in people dealing with you and with how you deal with them. Say it out, talk to someone about how you feel. In fact, it opens the door to more meaningful and deeper relationship with people.

Kids figure out the problem and resolve to make amends quickly. Kids understand this point better than most adults. Don't feel too special, otherwise you will be less likely to be open-minded and more likely to see the other person at fault. This paradigm makes it more difficult to forgive and more likely to see the situation in a winner/loser scenario. In fact, we are all special, but when it comes to forgiveness, we are better served to assume a humble posture.

I know you really don't want to waste time being hurt.
The real answer is i forgive you.
The real answer to free your broken heart from hurt and pain is to forgive. When you start to forgive you live in the now, neither in the future nor in the past. Forgiving allows the healing to begin and frees you to move forward with an unencumbered mind like a child.😁😁
#i forgive you
#stay safe
Do well to share some of your experiences with kids in allusion to forgiveness.😊
