“The moment you decide to forgive and let your negative feelings melt away, you are on the road to freedom.”- Jen Sincero

We need to forgive ourselves and others. Forgiveness is freedom. Forgiveness is not about them, it’s about you.

If you want to be free, forgive people who have wronged you. Don’t walk around with guilt, shame, or your mistakes. Beating yourself up will not change anything, it will make you feel terrible about yourself.

In her book You are a BADASS: How to Stop Doubting Your Greatness And Start Living an Awesome Life, Jen Sincero writes, “Forgiveness is all about taking care of you, not the person you need to forgive. It’s about putting your desire to feel good before your desire to be right. It’s about taking responsibility for your own happiness instead of pretending it’s in somebody else’s hands. It’s about owning your power by giving all your anger, resentment, and hurt the heave-ho.”

Forgiveness is not really about them, it is about you. It is taking care of yourself- your health, your happiness, your life, and your future.

Forgiveness gives us freedom to do whatever we want. In her book 52 Simple Ways to Encourage Others, Catherine E. Rollins writes, “Our forgiving the person who has wronged us accomplishes two things simultaneously. It removes us from standing in the way of the other person’s confrontation of himself and his actions…. Forgiving others free us from the negative impact of hatred on our souls, emotions, and bodies.”

Forgive the person who has wronged you, so that you can move on. If you don’t forgive, you cannot move on. You need to move on in your life.

No matter what people have done to you, forgive them. Don’t beat yourself up. Let it go. According to Ernest Kurtz and Katherine Ketcham, “‘Letting go” involves a breaking down of resistance to reality, a surrender of the demand for certitude; it can be pictured as a letting fall of fetters, a shucking of bonds of fear and possessiveness now experienced as no longer binding.”

Forgive yourself, forgive others, and you are on your way to success. You can do it!

One of the reasons we are here on earth is to pursue our dreams. We are not here on earth to be unproductive people, but to achieve our dreams. But how do we do it? How do we find out what we really want?

Most people are wandering around doing nothing with their lives. They are wandering around because they don’t know what they want from life. This is the issue with lots of people. In order to be successful, you have to first find out what you want. If you don’t know what you want, how can you do well in life? To do well in life, it starts with knowing what you want. Know what you can do and what you cannot do, and believe in yourself that you can get it done.

“To do well in life, it starts with knowing what you want. Know what you can do and what you cannot do, and believe in yourself that you can get it done”

In the words of Norman Vincet Pearle, “The secret of getting what you want from life is to know what you want and believe you can have it.” That is true. As I said before, you will not do well in life if you don’t know what you want, and if you don’t believe that you can do it. It is one thing to know what you want to achieve in life. It is another to believe you can make it happen. It takes courage to pursue what you want from life. Lots of people know what they want from life, but they don’t have the courage to pursue it. If you have a dream and you don’t have the courage to pursue, it will die a dream. To make your dream come true, you MUST pursue it with all your resources.

“It is one thing to know what you want to achieve in life. It is another to believe you can make it happen”
