When we refuse to forgive someone, we deeply jeopardize our own well-being. When we condemn others we condemn ourselves.
Forgiveness is about your peace of mind. When you don't forgive, you are the one who suffers.
Forgive for yourself and for the peace it will bring to your pain.
Your past is like a bag of bricks; set it down and walk away. Quit collecting every painful word, memory, and mistake. Collect hope.
You are so much more than your mistakes.
You are not your mistakes, and your mistakes are not you.
Beneath your burdensome regrets and who you think you are through the lens of past mistakes, there is someone beautiful who wants to emerge.
The easiest way to leave the past behind is to remember that love does not live in the past, only memories — love lives in the present.
Only in the present is your mind free to do what it does best — solve problems.
Almost all sadness comes from thinking about the past, and all worry from thinking about the future — present-mindedness is your only safe haven.
