#PeakPerformers, Carolyn @carolyncjjones talks forgiveness and gratitude on #TheEntrepYou today! Click To TweetShow Notes:
I always like to start things off on a light note. I asked Carolyn, “Would you rather be three inches taller or three inches shorter?”
Here response, “I wondered what the world looks like from a higher height. I’m rather short so I would like to be 3 inches taller.”
Then I jumped into the issue of forgiveness. Here are some of the questions I asked Carolyn.
How did you grow up?
How did that cause you feel when you were going through that?
How did you make the transition into who you are today?
You found a way to forgive your parents, how did that happen?
How can forgiveness help us to live our best lives as entrepreneurs?
Forgiveness becomes easier when we become grateful and come from a place of gratitude…why is it important to practice gratitude?
How often do you find that people put on a front?
How can we take small steps in forgiving ourselves and those who would have wounded us in the past?
Main Take-Aways:
-
Forgiveness doesn’t mean that you condone what the offender has done.
-
Being grateful creates more abundance.
-
When you decide to forgive, you make a decision to hurt and suffer less.

Thank you for sharing.
You are welcome Kino. I am glad you listened. Please feel free to share it with others.
Very enlightening discussion tonight. I thoroughly enjoyed Ms Jones frankness with sharing her life experience with us. What was amazing in her journey was her strength and perseverance through the difficult times. As entrepreneurs, we must strive to press on through those difficult times and trust that “better must come” #lifeofanentrepreneur #success #forgiveness #gratitude #theentrepreneurialyou #henekawatisporter
