We’ve all been hurt by another person at some point or another – we were treated badly, trust was broken, hearts were hurt. And while this pain is normal, sometimes that pain lingers for too long. We relive the pain over and over, letting them live rent-free in our head and we have a hard time letting go.
Grudges are a waste of perfect happiness, it causes us to miss out on the beauty of life as it happens. To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover the prisoner was you.

I AM ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE WHO TEND TO LIVE IN THE PAST. I RELIVE ALL THE GOOD AND ALL THE BAD ON A FREQUENT BASIS. I STRUGGLE TO LET GO OF MY PAST MISTAKES AND OTHERS PAST MISTAKES. THE WORDS ABOVE ARE SO TRUE ,THAT I KEEP MYSELF A PRISONER THAT WAY. MY GRUDGES AND MY OWN MISTAKES KEEP ME FROM LIVING MY LIFE TO THE FULLEST AND CAN RUIN A PERFECTLY GOOD PRECIOUS DAY BY ME DWELLING IN DAYS FOREVER GONE .
MY GOAL THIS YEAR IS TO GET A GRIP ON THIS BAD HABIT!!!!
SOME HOW I FIND IT EASIER TO FORGIVE OTHERS FOR THEIR MISTAKES THEN TO FORGIVE MYSELF FOR THE ONES IVE MADE.
WE ALLLLLLLL HAVE TO REALIZE WE ARE ALLLLLLL JUST HUMAN BEINGS WHO WILLLLLLL MAKE MISTAKES FROM TIME TO TIME. SOME SMALL ,SOME DOOZEYS BUT I GUESS AS LONG AS WE LEARN FROM THEM AND CAN MAKE OURSELVES LET THEM GO AND MOVE ON ,WE THEN WILL BECOME BETTER PEOPLE ,STRONGER PEOPLE INSTEAD OF PRISONERS OF HATE AND SELF LOATHING. AMEN :},LOL
wow! those words are so powerful!

One time I read something:
ReplyDelete"Mistakes are lessons not yet learned."
I'm trying to just accept the fact that I make mistakes. If they are held against me, I have no control over that. I am also constantly trying to be a better person and love every minute. Not always happening, but it does feel good when it happens :-)
YES,IT DOES FEEL GOOD :}!
ReplyDeleteAND NO , WE CANT CONTROL HOW OTHERS FEEL ABOUT OUR MISTAKES SO WE SHOULD JUST MOVE ALONG AND TRY TO LEARN FROM THEM.I WOULD LUV IT THOUGH IF WE HAD A SWITCH WE COULD FLICK TO MAKE THEM DISAPPEAR FROM OUR HEARTS AND HEADS!!!!! I CAN DREAM, NO? LOL
Good words San, sometimes hard to do but like Ann said I am just trying hard to be a good person and it does feel good. Don't let anyone step on you though because that's not fair to us either.
