Sometimes in life we just want to remember how we were harmed.  We want to remember the hurt and the pain that another has caused us.  As a matter of fact, we cannot forget!  We cannot forget, that is, until we forgive!

To forgive another for a wrong doing, that more often times than not, they are oblivious to, is the proper course of action throughout your life.  When we forgive, we can then forget.  Happiness, is not to be bottled up in anger, bitterness, and hurt.  No happiness, comes with forgiveness, and letting go!   Be happy and let go.

It is time for you to look inside and figure out who you need to forgive.  If you need some help, just monitor your thoughts.  When you start to feel your body tense up, or your mind race with sometimes anger, or more often a sense of sadness, you can look at those thoughts to see if they are directed towards a person.  When you forgive, you can let go of those thoughts, which in turn will help you release the negativity associated with it.

The choice is yours.  If you are waiting for the person who you think caused you harm, to have a great “revelation” to realize what they have done to you, and give you the magical call of apology, you may be waiting a long time.   You may be waiting for the rest of your life.  A life that could spend its energies in more productive thoughts and actions.

Yes, you may be thinking that you are no longer interested in a relationship with others who you may need to forgive.  That goes along with the territory.  However, you need to make that decision much later, after you have let go of their so-called injustice.  When you act in a time of emotional hurt, there is a tendency to react in a harmful way – a way that may cause hurt to others.   Take the time to gather your thoughts and to let your emotions settle, after you have done your own work of forgiveness.

When we walk this journey we call life, we will have many opportunities for growth.  The question is whether or not you are going to “learn the lesson” so that you may move on to the next opportunity.  The choice is yours, and waiting for another to behave the way you would like, is not taking advantage of that opportunity for growth!
