“Forgiveness saves the expense of anger, the cost of hatred, the waste of spirits.”- Hannah More

Forgiveness is the key to a peaceful life. When you forgive yourself, when you forgive others, you are on your way to living new life. Forgiveness brings peace.

Forgiveness is not about them. It is about you. When you forgive the people who have done something terrible to you, you are forgiving yourself. You are letting go of your anger. You are painting a picture of a new life. You are cleaning up your mind. You are letting go of your suffering. You are creating a new path to a new life.

It is hard to forgive. But if you don’t forgive, you are not helping yourself. You are damaging yourself- your life. The best way forward is to forgive yourself. Let go of the past. Don’t carry grudges with you. If you want to carry something with you, carry happiness and joy. Remember, “When you are being unforgiving to the people who have done bad things to you, it is you that you are unable to forgive.

Forgive yourself to forgive others. Forgiveness brings happiness, joy, health, peace, and love. Anger, on the other hand, brings suffering, hate, bad health, unhappiness, and poverty.

Forgiveness brings healing. So forgive yourself to heal yourself from the past. Are you ready?

Forgiveness Is About You, Not About Them

“Forgiveness is freedom. When you forgive, you are free.”

Forgiveness is about you. It is not about them. When you forgive people who hurt you, you are not forgiving them, you are forgiving yourself. You forgive people who hurt you because you want to be free. You forgive people who hurt you because you want to heal your heart. You forgive people who hurt you because you want to live your life. Forgiveness is about freedom.

No matter what you have gone through, no matter what people have done to you, forgiveness is the way. Do not carry resentments with you. It hurts. It hurts you, not them.

Forgiveness is letting go of the past. It is a about the future, not the past. Stop hurting yourself. Stop tormenting your soul. Stop living in pain. Stop telling yourself, “I can’t forgive.” You can forgive, but you cannot forget. That is the reality of forgiveness.

Do not let resentment steal your happiness away. You are here to be happy. When someone hurts you, don’t focus on how to fight back. Focus your time and energy on how to move forward in your life. Planning to fight back will not bring anything good to you. Instead, it will increase your anger. To forgive is to move forward. Life is too short to waste. Don’t waste yours.

Forgiveness is freedom. So forgive to free yourself.
