Help Yourself By…Forgiving People (Even If They Never Say ‘I’m Sorry”)

by Shelly 14. July 2009 04:29

There are many great quotes on resentment and forgiveness.  Two of my favorites are: 

Resentment is like drinking poison and waiting for the other person to die. ~ Carrie Fisher 

“When you hold resentment toward another, you are bound to that person or condition by an emotional link that is stronger than steel. Forgiveness is the only way to dissolve that link and get free.”  ~Catherine Ponder 

We can decide that it is more important to be happy than to be right any second we choose.  We can never control what other people do, but we can always choose our response.  And we can know that forgiveness is really a gift we give to ourselves more than to anyone else. 

Are YOU ready to choose forgiveness today?  And are YOU ready to experience more happiness as a result?
