The Elders teach that achieving something good often requires suffering, which is a misconception for many. Sacrifice is a strong word in Indian culture, and through it, our beliefs are tested, transforming good beliefs into real beliefs. This transformation leads to new self-images and allows determination, desires, and faith to manifest, but it requires letting go of old ways that no longer serve us. |

The Elders teach that the desire for something good requires the willingness to endure suffering. Sacrifice is often misunderstood, but for Native people, it holds profound meaning. On the other side of sacrifice lies a new world, where our beliefs are tested and transformed into real convictions. These real beliefs reshape our self-images and enable the manifestation of determination, desires, and faith. While goodness is always within reach, we often struggle to embrace it until we let go of the old ways. Suffering is simply the process of releasing what no longer serves us. Beyond suffering, a new world awaits. As long as we owe amends, our spirits remain burdened with unnecessary clutter. We carry the weight of unmade apologies, unresolved resentments, and unexpressed remorse. It is akin to living in a messy house, where we stumble over the remnants of yesterday, hindering our progress. Neglecting our responsibility to make amends only intensifies the clutter within our spirits. We must do the work ourselves and experience the satisfaction of a clear spirit. By making our own amends, we can fully embrace our recovery and maintain a sense of tidiness moving forward. Just for today, I will clear away what’s cluttering my spirit by making the amends I owe. |
