In the process of forgiveness, you can only control your own actions and decisions.

The idea of always wanting to be the victim in circumstances where you have been offended is a common human trait. Each person wants to be viewed as the aggrieved party.

Before making a snap judgment, ask yourself if it really is something that has hurt you or simply just made you angry at yourself for allowing it to happen. It__ amazing what __leeping on it_ can do. A new day sees a new beginning.

The world is full of victims; don__ add to the growing culture of ____e a story to tell_, well not unless it__ a story to help others overcome situations or as a warning.

You are not, though, forgiving so as to let others off with things. You are forgiving so that you can empower yourself to get over it and become strong.

The moment we see beyond our personal desires to be felt sympathy for, that is the time we can actually start the journey to that final destination of true forgiveness.

As human beings, we are custom made to be happy. Why then would we want to change the order of things by not being happy?

The most basic method one can use to let go of the past is by looking at it as a learning experience.

Forgiveness is not simply a single act, it is a full process.

Your forgiveness or failure to forgive simply takes you nearer or further away from your ultimate goal. There are no two ways to deal with it, there is only one.

Pain can cause us to learn no end of lessons, but without resolution there can be no healing!

We are often so convinced that we are so hurt and in pain, so much so that we opt not to forgive. Yet, as a consequence, that is what will make you weak!

The pain you feel is simply because you do not yet have the strength to forgive. But you will grow strong again, that is for sure.

The practice of forgiving is a sequential practice that begins with excusing someone.

In an unforgiving world, chaos rules.

The only thing that will make us remain glued to being the victim is our failure to handle the emotions that we go through and the pain that overcomes us.
