I receive ongoing updates from "The Universe", which is a great e-mail reminder service from TUT's Adventurers Club, at http://www.tut.com

This past one was great, and I want to share it:

A huge block to any kind of positive movement forward is when we are mired in the bog pit of feeling angry, hurt, destructive, or vindictive to others.

Practicing forgiveness effectively gives you a lifeline back onto steady footing, and your forgiveness of others and yourself gives you back your time, energy, and health.

This is one of a series of "lessons on success". This particular lesson is very important to me and ties in with the idea that we all work, live, and share in concentric circles of community.

Your current circle of friends determines to a large extent:

1) your ability to find work, leads, or referrals

2) your income and expenses (we are typically within 15% of the net worth of those in our peer groups)

3) your invitations to gatherings, events, and celebrations

So, if our current circle of friends is where we're currently at, then one way to increase our abilities and our understanding is to "push" a little bit and find someone who is out of your "comfort zone."
