046: Seeing the Good in Each Person AND Forgiveness

What does it mean to truly forgive another person? And, do we all forgive in the same way? Are we all just doing the best we can with what we have been given? Host, Mike Domitrz, asks CAST members Rick Clemons, Dr. Jenn, and Barry Moniak to share their thoughts on how they use mindfulness to navigate through potentially uncomfortable situations when seeing the best in another person is more cloudy than clear.  The quote that Inspired this week’s show is "See with the heart so that what is invisible to the eye becomes visible as the living magic of reality. Seeing one drop of water can be seeing all water. See how things display their harmony and their chaos at the same time. We are never limited by beauty alone but we appreciate all sides of reality properly.” — from the book Shambhala: The Sacred Path of the Warrior, by Chögyam Trungpa.  Subscribe to the Everyday Mindfulness Show.  Key Takeaways:  [1:59] Mike reads the quote and asks Jenn how she sees the good inside of people. [5:52] People are doing the best they can with what they have been given. [8:30] How mindfulness can help us work through dilemmas at home or work. [16:22] Practice forgiveness and healing or keep the toxic energy inside?  Rick Clemons is the Author of Frankly My Dear I’m Gay, Host of The Coming Out Lounge podcast, certified life coach, TEDx Speaker, world record holder, and a guy who’s helped 1000’s of people in over 50 countries across the globe come out of the closets of their lives to escape their b******t, explore their fears, and elevate their f*cking self-expression.  RickClemons.com  Facebook.com/RickClemonsOfficial  Twitter.com/RickClemon  Barry Moniak brings insightful experience and profound discovery to his entertaining, interactive presentations.
