Quotes by Lao Tzu

forgive others not because they deserve forgiveness, but because you deserve peace

external the kind of forgiveness, most people think of. You are the one getting hurt and forgive the aggressor. internal you are the one hurting someone and forgive yourself.

2 types of forgiveness 

why should you forgive? Everybody experiences life for the first time - so it is natural to make mistakes and hurt someone. Even if it was on purpose you should forgive. This sounds a little confusing but it's actually simple.Forgive to be at peace. Don't let a past mistake bother you and move on. It isn't your business anymore. The person probably struggles on their own, don't add to that.

external 

why should you forgive? You made a mistake and hurt someone, eventually even yourself. Maybe on purpose or maybe accidentally. But things like this happen all the time and it's part of life.Accept it, learn from it and change. It happened and it's okay. Holding on to the feeling of guilt makes you miserable and doesn't help anybody. Instead apologies and keep going.

internal

forgiveness 

If you are depressed, you are living in the past If you are anxious, you are living in the future If you are at peace, you are living in the present

If you are constantly looking back in your life, you won't be able to see what's in front of you.Many people feel regret or guilt about something that happened in the past. Some miss the old days and complain about their current life.In either way, it destroys your peace and makes you miserable. You shouldn't worry about things you can't change.There's nothing you can do now. Accept the things that aren't in your hand and live on.

Life in the past 

Thinking about times that haven't come yet results in anxiety. You get scared of making wrong choices or put pressure on you to achieve something for your future self. In the end you never get anything from your hard work because you already work for "the next future"

Life in the future

The present is the only reality.You should face what's right in front of you and only think about how it will affect your current situation.Go step by step, deal with now and in the next moment deal with "the next now". If you want to deal with too many things at once it will be overwhelming,so just take it easy and solve the problem that bothers you the most right now.Enjoy the atmosphere and the moment. The simple things around you and what emotions you feel. If it's hard for you, try going out in the nature and focus on yourself.Practice some meditation and learn to accept and appreciate.

Life in the present 

Past : It's okay to remember certain moments from the past and it's even important to do so, to improve your past mistakes. But don't hold onto it, let it go. Life's like water, always running, so don't try to stop it from flowing.Future : It is a good thing to look forward to new experiences and have goals you want to accomplish. But look at those things as a motivation rather than a worry.Without them life may seem boring and not worthy, to some. Thinking about past and future is not harmful, if you do it in moderation and for a positive reason. Learn to live in the flow of nature
