"To forgive is the highest, most beautiful form of love.
In return, you will receive untold peace and happiness." -- Robert Muller
I talk to so many people on daily basis about overcoming their day-to-day life challenges as a Life Coach. Whether its about dealing with their teenage kids, couples/relationships troubles, young adults from other cultures in the US, teens and drugs, adultery and the list goes on and on.
In almost all cases I teach and help them to forgive in order to start living a happy life. It seems so difficult for people to forgive because of the way they hold on to their believe systems and values.
People hold on to those values so strictly that it actually hurts them in the long run and blocks their energy for feeling happy, if they only were to open their heart for forgiveness.
Why do we have such a difficult time forgiving? Its because no one teaches us to learn to forgive and let go of the belief system we built over the years. We want to be right about something wrong done to us. Being right is part of the ego which promotes a very unhealthy life.
"One of the secrets of a long and fruitful life is to forgive everybody everything before you go to bed" -- Ann Landers
Also, when we have certain expectations from the ones we love around us, once the expectations are not delivered we hold grudge and blame, therefore forgiving becomes very difficult.
When you forgive it takes you from the place of the victim to that of a victor." -- Unknown
