Forgiving is Not Forgetting: This Sage Power is Transformational

Emotional Intelligence: Your Greatest Asset and Key to Success

Forgiving someone, even ourselves, for a wrong or perceived injustice is one of the hardest things to do. The popular cliche "to forgive is to forget" is wrong! Forgiveness is about freedom--from resentment, anger, blame, judgment, and even shame and guilt. In Positive Intelligence terms, forgiveness is possible when we use our Sage powers of Empathy, Explore, Navigate, Innovate, and Activate. In episode 15, my guest Alicia R. McLain and I discuss the meaning of forgiveness, what events, people, and things have happened to us that may prompt us to need or want to forgive in the first place, and what transformation occurs in ourselves when we make that life-changing decision to move on with our lives. Tune in for insights on the power that forgiveness brings.

"Forgiveness" (Poem) by George Roemisch
Forgiveness is the wind-blown bud which
blooms in placid beauty at Verdun.
Forgiveness is the tiny slate-gray sparrow
which has built its nest of twigs and
string among the shards of glass upon the
wall of shame.
Forgiveness is the child who laughs in merry
ecstasy beneath the toothed fence
that closes in Da Nang.
Forgiveness is the fragrance of the
violet which still clings fast to the
heel that crushed it.
Forgiveness is the broken dream which
hides itself within the corner of the
mind oft called forgetfulness so that it
will not bring pain to the dreamer.
Forgiveness is the reed which stands up
straight and green when nature's mighty
rampage halts, full spent.
Forgiveness is a God who will not leave
us after all we've done.

Faith over Fear: Your Inner Sage Has Your Back!

I'd love to hear from you!

Fear is a totally normal emotion! We all feel it sometimes, whether it's when we are heading into "unknown territory" or facing a difficult situation and we aren't sure how it's going to turn out. Many of us experience fear when faced with the prospect of looking for a new job or leaving an old one, entering into or leaving a relationship, or even just getting in the car and trying to stay alert to potential dangers on the highway. BUT: When it comes to making decisions or even just starting the day, fear can cripple us. It can prevent us from taking action, prevent us from speaking our truth, prevent us from trying something new that may turn out to be the best thing we ever did. Our Inner Sage, that Divine Self that loves us unconditionally, will help us, if we draw on it. Using the Sage powers of Positive Intelligence, we can tap into our Sage through mindful breathing, using our senses to stay in the present moment, and even praying, asking for help. Trust your Sage. Know that when you are fully present, you are neither in the past nor in the future. You are right here, right now. Look at your feet. Where are they? Tune in to Episode 13 of Emotional Intelligence:: Your Greatest Asset and Key to Success when interview Lauri Stern and we talk about why mindfulness and being centered in our body is the best way to live in faith and combat fear.

16. Grieving with Grace: Navigating Loss With Your Inner Sage

I'd love to hear from you!

Grief carries the weight of a thousand unspoken emotions. Loss can shatter our world, leaving us feeling lost and alone. But within us all lies the voice of our Inner Sage, whispering divine wisdom to guide us through the storm. In Episode 16 of Positive Intelligence: Your Greatest Asset and Key to Success, my guest Jenn Berger and I talk about navigating the intricate journey of grief. We explore a spectrum of emotions, including the raw pain, the overwhelming confusion, and even the unexpected waves of joy that may surprise us. We delve into the complexities of grief, acknowledging that there's no one-size-fits-all path. Each grief story is unique, just as we are. Leveraging the power of Positive Intelligence and reaching into the deep well of compassion, we'll have a conversation that honors vulnerability and courage. Tapping into the powers of our Inner Sage such as empathy, explore, navigate, and activate helps us navigate the challenges, celebrate the victories, and ultimately, find ways to rebuild our life with grace and resilience. While we may start out just surviving grief, we can learn how to thrive again as we walk the sometimes crooked path of healing because even in the darkest moments, there's at least a pinprick of light that promises solace. Remember, friends, you are not alone.
