To Gain Inner Peace, You Must Forgive

 

Forgive those who have injured you -

you release your anger and grant forgiveness.
Forgiving is not a gift to someone else -
Forgiving is your gift to yourself - a great gift - the gift of happiness.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

The remedy for wrongs is to forget them.

to forgive the one that inflicted it.
And yet, there is no peace without forgiveness.

Finish each day and be done with it.

to be encumbered with your old nonsense.

- Henry Ward Beecher (19th century Congregationalist clergyman and social reformer)

Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned.

Practical Forgiveness by Sheri Rosenthal

Self-care is critical to having a strong inner foundation. Lorraine Cohen

Self-care is critical to having a strong inner foundation. Taking good care of YOU means the people in your life will receive the best of you rather than what is left of you.
- Lorraine Cohen
To the people who love you, you are beautiful already. This is not because they’re blind to your shortcomings but because they so clearly see your soul.

Each and every human being on Earth has both the responsibility and the privilege of viewing themselves as Divine beings with the power to bring about peace.
- James Twyman

Every decision you make - every decision - is not a decision about what to do. It’s a decision about Who You Are. When you see this, when you understand it, everything changes. You begin to see life in a new way. All events, occurrences, and situations turn into opportunities to do what you came here to do.
- Neale Donald Walsch
