Forgiveness is for the strong – we should not be afraid of it
If you are finding yourself constantly angry about things which are out of your control, it’s more important to first realize you are not responsible for anything but your own feelings about it. Then you must forgive. Even if you don’t say it to the person, tell them inside your head, you forgive it. Don’t forget to also forgive yourself, when you need to.
“I’m afraid to forgive because . . .”
It is understandable why we have a hard time being able to forgive. It makes us afraid. Afraid that forgiving means you’re letting someone off the hook or to get away with something. Afraid that you may have to change, or be perceived by others as weak or soft. To live a loving and open life, this is the one fear you have to let go of.
Forgiveness isn’t weakness – forgiveness is more powerful and useful than holding in resentment and living in anger. Don’t let anger hold you back and weigh you down from having happiness you deserve.
