Forgiveness
Forgiveness clears the heart and the head - it gives us the permission we need to move forward with our lives - despite what may have happened, or who may have hurt us.
Forgiveness is a choice, and the power lies within us to choose peace over resentment and bitterness.
"Forgiveness simply means loving someone enough to pursue healing instead of punishment when they have wronged you." ~ Dave Willis.
“Today I decided to forgive you. Not because you apologized, or because you acknowledged the pain that you caused me, but because my soul deserves peace.” ~ Najwa Zebian
"Forgiveness does not mean what happened is okay. It means not letting what happened take any more of your happiness." ~ Michelle Maros
"Don’t let anyone bring you down so low as to hate them. Release them from the hold they have on you and continue on with peace in your heart. Life is short and is not worth wasting your time trying to figure people out or prove anything to them. The only person you have to prove anything to is yourself. Strive to be the best person you can possibly be, be strong, and walk away. Holding on to bitterness and anger will only hinder your happiness. Your life is much too precious to spend another minute worrying about someone that doesn’t bring you happiness. Say goodbye and wish them well. After all, they’ve made you a stronger person. They’ll see the light someday." ~ Ladybug
"If you don't like someone's behavior, stay away, but don't hurt them. Don't be abusive and disrespectful. That's a sign of weakness. In fact, the real test always comes when you don't get what you expect from people. Will you react in anger? Or will calmness be your superpower?" ~ Marc and Angel
