WHY SHOULD I FORGIVE

We have the power to turn any painful ending into a loving beginning

 

So why should I forgive?

-Because if won't forgive, it will end up hurting me more than anyone else.

- Because when I forgive others I will be healed.

- Because the act of forgiveness will cut the cords that tied me to the person who has hurt me.

- Because love and forgiveness will help me rise above any obstacle, difficulty or pain.

- Because I am not going to continue allowing someone else's behavior to define who I am: I'll forgive the past and set myself free. 

- Because no one can take the right to choose how to react in every situation away from me. 

- Because I can't control another person's behavior toward me, but I can control my reaction.

- Because the past is in the past, and the only way it can hurt me is if I keep holding on to it.

- Because the only way I can experience true happiness and freedom, is when I let go of things in which no longer serve me.

 - Because I know I have the power to forgive, and that forgiveness is an act of strength.

I choose to always do my best to come from a place of love and forgiveness, because that is who I truly am. 

Because I can! Can you think of any other reasons we should forgive?
