Share a lesson you wish you had learned earlier in life.
I wish I would have learned about the power of forgiveness.
Forgiveness is one of the most powerful, yet difficult lessons we can learn. It’s not just about leaving someone off the hook it’s about freeing yourself from the heavy burden of resentment.
It took me many years to realize that forgiveness is an act of self-healing.
It takes courage to forgive. It’s easy to lash out, stay angry or seek revenge.
I wish someone would have to told me, that it takes forgiveness to start healing. That forgiveness is a sign of inner strength, not weakness.
Forgiveness isn’t about forgetting, it’s about choosing peace over pain. That peace is more valuable than carrying the weight of a grudge.
That, in learning to forgive we become wiser, lighter, and freer.
Unforgiveness only poisons your soul. We cannot expect to heal, if we have unforgiveness or bitterness in our heart.
From Pity to Praise 
Very true. We forgive but don’t forget. Life’s easier that way.

My father always told me, fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me. Make sure they don’t hurt you a second time.
