Distancing yourself from some painful event is probably the ignition for the process of forgiveness.

Forgiveness is not simply a single act, it is a full process.

All the resentment that lies in your heart is simply causing damage to you mostly.

Just because someone wakes up one morning and says, “Today I am going to be rich,” does not automatically make them rich. So the same is true with forgiveness, it has to come from the heart with meaning, that is when it works best.

This pain you are avoiding is a very necessary pain that will make you strong again.

We invent what we need to get us by, but in doing so we are really continuing to hold on to the pain of yesterday.

You can learn to heal yourself, learn to understand that the pain you feel today is the strength you feel tomorrow!

Take a walk through the garden of forgiveness and pick a flower of forgiveness for everything you have ever done. When you get to that time that is now, make a full and total forgiveness of your entire life and smile at the bouquet in your hands because it truly is beautiful.
