Negative sentiment is the distress you feel when you have decided to move ahead in your life without considering the needs of someone else, especially someone who has put unrealistic demands on you. Feeling that the needs of another have to be addressed before you consider your own is incredibly detrimental, bringing with it doubt or pain that causes you to ignore the mental harm to yourself because you accept it as a truth. It is essential to dissolve negative sentiment or you will stay in a state of incompleteness when seeming to move forward into your new desire. Without consciously removing negative sentiment, it will manifest along with the preconditions set by people who were well meaning or not. In any event, it is important to understand the need to release anyone from the responsibility of having done anything to you, including yourself. Release all negative things to their greater good through the restructuring of your thoughts while accepting your own authority. Doing so will enable you to enjoy and share your new good without guilt while living by your divine right to live in joy and freedom.
Forgiving yourself for past grievances towards yourself and others is difficult to do because the established patterns of your life are more than likely comfortable. The reasons may not be clear as to why you did what you did to yourself or to others, and quite frankly, it is unimportant. You have to see it as unimportant or you will not free yourself from guilt that you may not be aware of. Besides, in your mind there was probably a good reason for having done something to someone as well as them doing something to you.
Forgive yourself! You are more important than you think you are. Forgiving yourself includes forgiving others for their errors but not necessarily forgetting about a particular incident. Do it without over-reacting. You may have caused their actions against you by not establishing proper conditions for the relationship. It is unfortunate, but there is little that you can ever leave to chance in life. People will push you around if you permit them to do so. It is human nature. Bullies, however, are the first people to run when confronted, so you really should not concern yourself with their feelings either. Forgiving does not mean you should not equalize conditions or gain certain advantages, but it is not necessary to become obsessed by constantly thinking in terms of revenge. Releasing others to their own good is handled through intelligent and effective self-revealization acceptance. You should take what you can get from them before you disavow them. Aggressive people need to be controlled with an assertive attitude. Being used is the basis for their own negative sentiment.
Undoubtedly, you have permitted yourself to be pushed around at one time or another. You may feel resentment about certain events in your life and maybe you should, but once you identify the cause of your distress, correct it intelligently or alleviate it by dropping it entirely. It is not wise or necessary to think in terms of revenge for deeds perpetrated against you. It may appear to be healthy, but it really is not. Also, consider how others had cause to feel disrespected by you. There is no need to criticize yourself for your actions, but you should know about them. Prevail upon yourself not to permit like conditions to be created again where it will be necessary to extract retribution in any form against others or yourself. Remember, you are beginning to accept your divine right to live in joy and freedom and it should be uppermost in your mind.
Negative sentiment always appears at the most inopportune times. When you begin to change conditions, you may find yourself behaving in ways that try to force you back into old ways of thinking because something triggers you off. It could be a “bad mood” or someone making a meaningless statement. Regardless, you immediately retaliate or start to fume and rage about it. This in itself is not the end of the world, but it is important to understand the necessity to release the mental conditions that permit this behavior to rise up and control you. It is the same thing with smoking, cursing at other drivers, nagging your spouse or children, starting fights, getting drunk, etc. The thing activating through you is the frustration of thinking you were being withheld from enjoying the pleasures of life. Recondition your attitudes with self-revealization acceptance and negate the old forms of thinking that are holding you back. Negate these old ideas or they will continue to hold back the vitality and quality of your ascent. Getting rid of negative sentiment is a real task. Make no mistake about it.
