英語美文朗讀 第351期 Lets Talk About Forgiveness

Let's talk about forgiveness. You can never be free of bitterness as long as you continue to think unforgiving thoughts. How can you be happy in this moment if you continue to choose to think angry and resentful thoughts? Thoughts of bitterness cannot create joy, no matter how justified you feel you are, no matter what they did. If you insist on holding on to the past, then you will never be free. Forgiveness of yourself and of others will release you from the prison of the past.

 

讓我們來聊一聊原諒這件事。只要你一直無法做到原諒，你就會永遠痛苦。如果你繼續(xù)選擇生氣、選擇怨恨，此時此刻的你又能有多開心呢？無論別人做過什么，無論你自己多有理，痛苦的想法都無法帶來快樂。如果你一直抓住過去不放，你永遠不會得到自由。原諒自己，原諒他人，你就不會被你的過去囚禁。

 

When you feel that you are stuck in some situation or when your affirmations are not working, it usually means there is some more forgiving to be done. When you do not flow freely with life in the present moment, it usually means you are holding on to a past moment. It can be regret, sadness, hurt, fear or guilt, blame, anger, resentment and sometimes a desire for revenge. Each one of these states comes from a space of unforgiveness, a refusal to let go and to come into the present moment.

當你感到你身陷囹圄，當你感到無論自己多么積極都是徒勞的，這通常意味著你還需要原諒更多人、更多事。如果現(xiàn)在你無法自由地生活，這通常意味著你還沒能放下過去。你可能感到后悔、失落、傷心、恐懼、愧疚、委屈、憤怒、怨恨，甚至有時你會想報復。這些情緒都是因為你還沒能做到原諒，你拒絕放手，你拒絕活在當下。

 

Only in the present moment can you create your future. If you are holding on to the past, you cannot be in the present. It is only in this now moment that your thoughts and words are powerful. So you really don't want to waste your current thoughts to continue to create your future from the garbage of the past. When you blame another, you give your own power away because you are placing the responsibility for your feelings on someone else. People in our lives may behave in ways that trigger uncomfortable responses in us. However, they did not get into our minds and create the buttons that have been pushed. Taking responsibility for our own feelings and reactions is mastering our ability to respond.

只有活在當下，你才能創(chuàng)造未來。如果你一直對過去耿耿于懷，你就無法專注于當下。只有在當下，你的想法，你的話語，才是有力量的。所以，你一定不會想浪費你現(xiàn)在的思緒、帶著不堪的過去來創(chuàng)造你的未來。當你埋怨他人時，你主動放棄了自己的力量，會因為你讓別人為你自己的感受負責。在我們的生命中，有些人可能讓我們感到不適，然而他們并沒有左右我們的思想。為自己的感受和反應(yīng)負責，意味著掌握我們作出回應(yīng)的能力。

 

In other words, we learn to consciously choose rather than simply react. Forgiveness is a tricky and confusing concept for many people. There is a difference between forgiveness and acceptance. Forgiving someone does not mean that you condone their behavior. And the act of forgiveness takes place in your own mind. It really has nothing to do with the other person. The reality of true forgiveness lies in setting ourselves free from holding on to the pain. It is simply an act of releasing yourself from the negative energy.

換句話說，我們學著去有意識地做出選擇，而不僅僅是消極地回應(yīng)。對于很多人而言，原諒是很困難的，是很令人困惑的。原諒某人并不意味著你寬恕了他們的行為。原諒發(fā)生在你的心里，與他人無關(guān)。事實上，原諒意味著讓自己不再被痛苦束縛。這只是一個讓自己從負能量中解脫的行為而已。

 

Also, forgiveness does not mean allowing the painful behaviors or actions of another to continue in your life. Sometimes forgiveness means letting go. You forgive them and release them. Taking a stand and setting healthy boundaries is often the most loving thing you can do not only for yourself but for the other person as well. No matter what your reasons are for having bitter unforgiving feelings, you can go beyond them. You can get off it. You can let it go. You only live in the now. And you can choose to think thoughts that make you feel good right now. You can choose to practice thinking thoughts that create a positive today and tomorrow. Know that you are creating thinking habits that will serve you well forever.

與此同時，原諒并不意味著你允許他人那令你感到痛苦的行為繼續(xù)糾纏你的生活。有時候，原諒意味著放手。你原諒他人，你寬恕他人。明確你的立場，設(shè)立合理的邊界，這往往是你能為自己和為他人做的、最博愛的事。無論你感到痛苦、感到自己無法原諒他人的理由是什么，你都能克服它們。你能擺脫它們。你能放手。你只活在當下。你可以選擇去一些讓自己感到愉悅的感受。你可以選擇去練習積極地思考，用積極的想法點亮每一個今天、每一個明天。你要明白，思維習慣是你自己創(chuàng)造的，它們會讓你受益一生。

I give myself the gift of freedom from the past and move with joy into the now. There is no problem too big or too small that it cannot be solved with love.

關(guān)于原諒的積極話語：我的心門向里打開。我先原諒，再去愛。我的想法改變，我周圍的世界也會隨之改變。過去已經(jīng)結(jié)束，它已經(jīng)不能左右我了。我當下的想法創(chuàng)造我的未來。當一個受害者是很無趣的。我再也不要讓自己無助了。我的力量我做主。我將自由送給我自己，我不再糾結(jié)于過去，而是滿懷欣喜地面對當下。于我而言，愛能解決所有大大小小的問題。

You have a choice. You can choose to stay stuck and bitter or you can do yourself a favor by willingly forgiving the past and let it go and then move on to create a joyous fulfilling life. You have the freedom to make your life anything you want it to be, because you have freedom of choice.

你有一個選擇。你可以選擇讓自己困在過去、一直悲哀，你也可以選擇自我救贖，主動原諒過去，放下過去，往前走，創(chuàng)造快樂的、充實的生活。你擁有自己去塑造人生的自由，因為你擁有選擇的自由。
