FORGIVENESS...

..we go through life hurting others as well as being hurt..

and forgiveness is necessary..it is the most demanding of all the qualities..

..it also THE most important!!

..forgiveness allows us to say.."I hate what you have done..but we need to move forward"..

..it is irrelevant whether they 'deserve' to be forgiven..

..you forgive to release yourself as well as the other person..

..forgiveness does not condone what was wrong..

..yet it shows us that everyone makes mistakes..



..when we hurt others..ask for forgiveness unconditionally..

..an apology is worthless if we do not back it up by changing our behaviour..

..accept other peoples apologies unconditionally..don't make them suffer more to make you feel better..

..remember..the sun rises on the just and the unjust..

..forgiveness benefits you more than the other person that has hurt you..

..to be perfectly honest..i used to believe you could forgive but never forget..

..now i know..to truly forgive we MUST forget..

..forgiveness allows us to live in the present moment..

to learn from the past as we leave it behind..

..there is power in forgiveness x
