forgive

​To forgive may be difficult but it’s healthy. Forgiveness isn’t what your pride wants but it’s definitely what your heart needs. Not being able to forgive may seem like you’re doing yourself a favor or getting back at the other person but instead, it rips the power from you. Not being able to forgive keeps the power in the other person’s hands because whatever that person did to upset you, it was their intention on you caring so much about it. At that point, they won and are very happy that their plan worked. Now, if you forgive, you’re showing that whatever happened isn’t worth the time and day to be bothered with it. You’re the bigger person and are showing others that no matter what happens, you can’t be negatively influenced by their actions. This goes for any situation.  I’m not saying forgive and forget but to forgive for the sake of your well-being.  Many can apologize for their wrong doings, but only few have the real strength to forgive.  Be smart and strong through these times. You can’t move forward if you’re still dwelling in the past by dealing with people who weren’t meant for your future.
