Forgiving is not forgetting. It’s not saying what happened was right. It’s letting go of the anger and resentment that’s weighing you down.

When you hold a grudge against someone, you’re the one carrying the burden. It’s like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die.

Forgiving is a gift you give to yourself. It’s choosing peace over pain. It’s deciding that your future shouldn’t be held prisoner by your past.

When you forgive, you break the chains that bind you to those who hurt you. You become free to move on with your life.

Of course, this is not easy. It takes time, it takes courage, it takes compassion.

But when you finally manage to forgive, you’ll feel an incredible lightness. You’ll realize that you finally have the space in your heart for better things.

So forgive. Not for them, but for yourself…

Be at peace…
