\n \t- Forgiveness is a gift you give to yourself<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\u201cIt\u2019s one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself, to forgive. Forgive everybody.\u201d ~ Maya Angelou<\/a><\/em>\n\nYour mind might try to convince you that forgiveness is \u201cletting someone off the hook,\u201d and that you are in fact doing those who mistreated you a favor by forgiving them, but the truth of the matter is that you are doing yourself a favor.\n\nForgiveness is a gift you give to yourself, to be at peace, to be happy and to be able to sleep at night. You\u2019re not doing this for them, you\u2019re doing it for yourself, to set yourself free from the feelings of hurt, anger, and helplessness that kept both of you attached for so long, and to be at peace.\n
\n \t- Forgiveness is an act of strength<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\u201cThe weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute if the strong.\u201d ~ Gandhi <\/a><\/em>\n\nContrary to what you have been led to believe, forgiveness is an act of strength. You don\u2019t forgive because you are weak, but because you are strongenough to realize that only by <\/strong><\/a>letting go of resentments you will be happy <\/strong><\/a>and at peace.\n
\n \t- Forgiveness is a sign of self-love<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\u201cWe must develop and maintain the capacity to forgive. He who is devoid of the power to forgive is devoid of the power to love. There is some good in the worst of us and some evil in the best of us. When we discover this, we are less prone to hate our enemies.\u201d ~ Martin Luther King, Jr.\n\nLove yourself enough to let go of all the toxicity from your life and free yourself from all the anger, bitterness and resentments. If you\u2019re mad, be mad. Don\u2019t hide and suppress your feelings. Let it all out, but once you\u2019re done with being mad, allow forgiveness to enter your heart. Let go and love!\n
\n \t- When you forgive, you find peace<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\u201cIf you let go a little you will have a little peace; if you let go a lot you will have a lot of peace; if you let go completely you will have complete peace.\u201d~ <\/strong>Ajahn Chah\n\nPeace of mind is what you find the moment you let go of any grudges and any resentments you might be holding on to. The moment you say to yourself: \u201cIt is time to let go, it is time to forgive\u201d, that will be the moment you will find peace. <\/strong><\/a>\n
\n \t- If you forgive, you will be forgiven<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n <\/strong>\u201cIn this world, you are given as you give. And you are forgiven as you forgive. While you go your way through each lovely day, you create your future as you live.\u201d ~ Peace Pilgrim<\/em>\n\nIn life, we get what we give, and we reap what we sow. And since we\u2019re all humans, and we all make mistakes, the more we forgive others for the past, present and future mistakes, the more others will forgive us when we will make mistakes. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.\n\nLuminita D.
