Can you turn the other cheek?

Have you been involved or experienced the nasty side of life? It could be at the receiving end of road rage, or even the end of an angry customer unhappy with your product.

My mentor in Malaysia had the aweful experience of being cheated of huge sums of money from an ex business partner. Before I tell you what he did, I ask you, what would you do?

I can say for the vast majority of people the response will be one of hatred, revenge and anger. People would want justice. An eye for an eye!!

So what did my mentor do? He walked away, he turned the other cheek and he forgave. What the?? Crazy!!!

You might even say that it can’t be true. I was there when it happened and I personally experienced first hand how he rebuilt his empire from the ground up.

His philosophy was that its only money. Of course it hurts to have lost so much (a 6 figure sum!), but he didn’t want to be drawn into the bitterness and hatred that comes part and parcel of taking someone to court or even harboring vengeful thoughts.

By forgiving his ex partner he was able to let go, able to be set free. Free to grow, earn and live life without shackles.

So, when you feel life is attacking you, do you have what it takes to let the past be in the past and move on? The good book says to turn the other cheek.
