So I was sitting there today, you know, as I'm continuing my journey of trying
to get
this fucking anger out of me. Like, I feel like I cut down the tree and now I
just have this stump
and I don't have that stump remover thing, you know, I got like a fucking
shovel.
So I was reading this whole fucking thing on how to forgive people
and you cannot believe how much work it is. It's like, wait a minute, you're
going to fuck me over
and then I have to do all of this work or else I'm going to be fucking angry
and then other people aren't going to like, they're not going to like me
because of the shit you did
that's now on me and then I'm angry and I come at them in a fucked up way. What?
That's how this shit works. Dude, it was like A, B, C steps and then there was
three things to do
in each one of them and I'm going to give it a shot. I'm going to therapy now,
so I'm just going
to make a copy of that and I'm going to be like, all right, here's how you
forgive people. How do I
do this? And then I'm just going to take out this scroll and just fucking let
it fly and be like,
these are all the people that I feel in my head fucked me over in the last 57
years
and each and every one of them still lives on inside of me.
So how do we, how do we rectify this situation? Um, I was at my, uh, my
daughter's soccer practice
yesterday, um, having a great time. So afterward she wants to go get something.
She wants to go
buy like Starbucks or something. She goes, dad, you don't drink Starbucks
coffee, right? I said,
no, it's garbage. And she said, why is it garbage? I go, I don't know. It's
like, they don't care.
So anyway, I'm waiting to make a left to go into this thing. And this fucking
asshole
is just sitting there with like three car lengths to let this person go by. And
now I'm just, I, now
I'm, I'm blocking traffic. They would just pull up one car length. I could get
behind them and I'm all
upset because this person is just in their own fucking world and doesn't
realize what they're doing to my
life. And I am beside myself that this person has the audacity to not consider
me. You know what I
mean? I'm doing one of those things. Stupid. Right? So I started to go, look at
this fucking guy. Did
that, did that, did that. And then I just said to my daughter, I just said to
her, I go, you know what?
I'm flipping out again. She goes, yep. And I go, do you deserve this? She goes,
no. And I go, no,
you don't. So guess what I'm going to do? And she goes, stop. And I go, yes.
And then we both
laughed and that was it. There you go. So, you know, I'm like the Bruins. I'm
getting some wins
here. I'm turning it around. I'm rebuilding the franchise, but I'm seriously
going to do that.
I'm going to learn how to, how to like, forgive people. And one of them is then
to have, you got
to have like a boundary. The one, the part I liked the best was it would like,
if you choose to
continue the relationship, there has to be a boundary. That's the part I like.
It's like,
I, no, I don't choose to continue the relationship and that is the boundary.
Fuck off.
So anyway, um, I just gotta, I gotta figure out how to let this shit go.
Um, all right. Forgiving people. Hey, Oh, Billy Bible boy. Heard you talking
about forgiveness on
Thursday's podcast and felt compelled to reach out because that's something I
just recently came to
term terms with as well at 45. I went a couple of decades being pushed and
pulled through the
spiritual ringer after questioning my faith in God. I believe you're beginning
to understand
forgiveness. Maybe some of your listeners have not parentheses. I know I didn't
for a long time,
but when you see that's, that's how you get your point across. If you just say,
maybe some of your
listeners have not, you guys all would have been like, fuck's this guy talking
about me for? But
the second you say, I know I didn't, I've made mistakes for the longest time,
blah, blah, blah. Once
you do that, people can hear your information. But this person goes on to say,
but when you forgive
someone, it isn't for the other person, it's for you. I know that's what I'm
fucking learning. And
that's the hardest thing. Cause you're sitting there. I'm not forgiving that
motherfucker. You
know, uh, you don't even need to contact them to forgive them. It's, it's so
you can heal and not
live with anger, resentment, vengeance, or guilt. When you carry that weight,
you have the power to
subconsciously hurt yourself and those around you, not to mention, end up in
jail. Um, if you go out and
assault somebody, when Jesus was dying on the cross, he said, father, forgive
them for they
know not what they are doing. Homeboy was being crucified and was praying for
the souls of those
killing him, which is pretty metal. If you ask me, um, yeah, I don't think I
would have been saying
that. I don't think I would have been trashing him either. I'd be like, Oh, I
guess you know about
this fucking thing. I would have been doing that. There's also a Hawaiian
practice for healing called,
Oh my God. Can I buy an O? It's H O apostrophe O P O N O P O N O. Ho Opa Nopono.
Opo Nopono.
Are you fucking with me? Ho Opo Nopono. Open up open phone. Opo Fono. Um,
anyways, it's like a
mental reset button using four short phrases that you repeat while you're
thinking of a person's
situation or even saying it to yourself in a mirror silently or out loud. Okay.
I'm sorry.
Acknowledging any role, even unconscious in the problem. Please forgive me. Asking
for forgiveness.
Thank you. Express gratitude for the lesson, healing, et cetera. I love you.
Send love to the
person, situation, self. Okay. I guess I get thank you for the lesson because I
learned something through
the pain and I love you because I'm not going to hate you anymore. I get all of
that. I'm sorry.
Please forgive me. I acknowledge any role, even if unconscious in the problem.
I'm sorry,
I was there. I'm sorry. I was a kid. Like, I don't, what the fuck am I supposed
to do with that?
Please forgive me. Ask for forgiveness. I don't know. Maybe I'll just do three
and four.
Anyway, I hope this helps you or someone that's struggling out there. Love the
podcast. Fuck the
haters and live your truth, man. I am. Yeah. I don't give a fuck what people
think. Unless,
you know, if I did something wrong, I will fucking own up to it and apologize
to the people that I hurt.
But if I didn't do anything fucking wrong, yeah, I don't give a shit what, you
know, nor do I take
it seriously.
