You cannot take the poison and expect someone else to die. They will go on with their life and you will be the only one to continue to suffer. Forgiveness is the key to your own happiness. Forgiving someone else takes moral courage. It ends the illusion of separation, and its power can change misery into happiness in an instant.
Forgiveness means choosing to let go, move on, and favor the positive.
One pardons to the degree that one loves. We cannot love unless we have accepted forgiveness, and the deeper our experience of forgiveness is, the greater is our love. In return, you will receive untold peace and happiness. Reprinted with permission. Author Larry James is also a professional speaker.
