Chose to forgive



Forgiveness allows for peace of mind and that, shouldn’t be traded for anything else in the world. This world has a lot of challenges and difficulties, you can call it whatever you want to call it; but one thing is certain, life is too short to be living with resentment.

When you forgive you release the negatives and allow for positives in your world. Your world already has a lot of stress in it, why do you want to allow resentment to rule your life?  ask yourself this one question: does it worth it? To be honest, resentment does not add anything tangible to my world; it just makes me live in the past and not in the present and my present brings its own issues already.

I know life brings unexpected bad experiences – we get hurt by people we love and at times by those we don’t even know; and we have every right to be angry but you don’t need to be cruel to yourself; because when you don’t forgive, you are being cruel to yourself. You deserve to have peace in your life and when you don’t forgive, that will not happen. When someone wrongs you, forgive. You are the number one person that will benefit of the forgiveness and then the person that wronged you.

Forgiveness is a process. Before you forgive, you have to grieve. You will never forgive, if you don’t take that first step. After the grieving, chose to forgive. Like every other thing in this world, forgiveness is a choice. You chose to forgive because you want peace of mind and want to move on to living your life.

You don’t need to have closure to forgive. At times you will have closure and other times, you will never get it; either way chose to forgive.
