The biggest issue is not really with the past, but when something offends us or hurts us, we're doing an algorithm with it, even though we may not know this. So again, I use this stupid example that you might have been rude to me. What I'm doing when I'm reacting to that is I'm looking at my whole life and I'm asking myself in a moment, was I loved enough? Was I gratified enough? Was I given enough? Did I get enough? Did life nourish me enough to be kind to you? And when we don't practice gratitude and when we over practice grievance we answer all the time no life hasn't given me enough so that I could be kind to you and because of that we create rotten lives for ourselves and that's its real damage forgiveness is to say in the present, hey, she might have said something that's not perfect, so what? I do all the time. That's the healthy life that we hope for.
Ever wondered how forgiveness can change your life? In this episode of 'Kaleidoscope of Possibilities', Dr. Adriana Popescu chats with Dr. Fred Luskin, a psychologist and the director of the Stanford University Forgiveness Project. Dr. Luskin takes us through his own journey from his hippie days to becoming a leading expert on forgiveness. He dives into the ways holding onto anger and resentment can trap us in a victim mentality and explains how forgiveness can set us free.
From dealing with betrayal to overcoming self-pity, Dr. Luskin offers practical advice on how to start the forgiveness process and make peace with the past. He also discusses the research behind forgiveness and its benefits, like reduced destructive anger and improved well-being. Whether you're struggling with grief, dealing with abuse, or just looking to find more gratitude in your life, this episode is packed with insights that could help you transform your emotional landscape. Dr.
Luskin’s approach is not just about letting go; it’s about embracing a new way of living that prioritizes peace and personal growth. Tune in to discover how you can harness the power of forgiveness to create a healthier, more empowered life.
