Embrace Forgiveness

Forgiveness does not mean forgetting or minimising the pain we feel; nor is it about excusing others. 

Forgiveness means making a conscious and deliberate decision to let go of our feelings of resentment or revenge, regardless of whether the person who has upset us deserves it.

• Forgiveness is choosing to accept what happened as it happened rather than what could or should have happened. 
• Forgiveness can mean that you let go. 
• Forgiveness can mean you step into your present rather than anchoring in the past.

Life is short. Practice quick forgiveness and move on. Holding a grudge will only slow you down. 

Forgiving others frees your mind and makes it agile, not easily triggered by current situations that point towards any painful memories of the past.
