Forgiveness

Forgiveness is not always an easy thing to do.Whether it is forgiving someone who has hurt you, or maybe it is forgiving yourself for making a bad decision.Whatever the case may be, carrying around resentment wears you down, like a river wears down the rocks in runs over.Regardless of whether the pain caused to you was accidental or on purpose, by not forgiving , you are inadvertently allowing others to continue to hurt you.You are allowing that person to determine how you feel and act. Holding onto anger and resentment makes you a bitter and miserable person.The old saying goes "It's better to forgive and forget", I not really sure which one is harder.But I do believe that it is almost impossible to forget, unless you first forgive.

What if the person you can't forgive is yourself, how damaging is that? So you have made a mistake or maybe used poor judgment, it caused you some sort of pain or suffering, but instead of learning from it and letting it go, you continue to punish yourself.What good will that ever do? We are only human, we all make mistakes. But not learning from your mistakes is just as foolish, as not forgiving yourself for making them.I have made my fair share of mistakes in life, but I have accepted them and moved on. I have also learned how to forgive others who have hurt me. It was like a huge heavy weight had been lifted off my chest.

Life is all about learning the lessons that are put in front of you.They say that you have to first lose, before you can ever really enjoy winning, and the same goes with Happiness. You have to first know sadness before you can know how to be really Happy.One of the major steps towards Happiness is Forgiveness. Don't carry around resentment and anger, instead transform it into forgiveness and compassion.You deserve to be Happy, we all do. The thing that most people don't understand is that, we hold the key to our own Happiness, in our hands.It is up to us to let go of the negativity and concentrate on the good things in our lives.Once you can do that, you are on your way to living the life ,we all wish to have.Love your life and it will Love you back. Blessings and Love to all.
