Life is Short so Forgive

Life is too short to waste your time hating anyone.  Forgive your ex or soon to be ex for everything.  This doesn’t mean to forget just forgive.

Forgiveness is not for the other person it is for you.  Hanging on to hatred is not healthy, emotionally or mentally.  It will age you beyond your years and affect your entire life.  By releasing those feeling you will be a happier person, have a brighter out look on life, feel younger and better about yourself.

How do you forgive someone that you feel lied to you, betrayed you and wrecked your life; start by realizing that they gave to you the best they had to give at the time.  No one is able to give you everything you need all the time.  Then remember them the way they were and realize that that person no longer exists.  Realize that forgiveness does not happen overnight so when you are sitting their saying I have tried to forgive but I just can’t, keep trying and one day you will forgive.  Every time you think about them, in your heart and in your mind send them a prayer for happiness, send them your love and let go of the anger.

Someone once told me to write a letter to the certain someone.  Spell it all out, put it in writing, write about all of the love, the precious memories, the heart aches, and the loss, all ranges of your emotions, be brutally honest within this letter.  When you are finished put it away for a week and then take it out and re-read what you wrote, feel the pain and anger again.  Then tear up the letter and then burn it, release those feelings within the flames and as the flames die down realize that you don’t have to hang on to those feelings and emotions anymore.  They are gone.
