The act of FORGIVING is a great source of positive energy for our lives.

Forgiving does not erase the bitter past. A healed memory
is not a deleted memory. Instead, forgiving what we cannot
forget creates a new way to remember. We change the memory
of our past into a hope for our future.
Lewis B. Smedes

We all have someone or something to forgive… and when we learn how, we become free to increase success in every area of our life.
Azim Khamisa

By taking revenge, a man is but even with his enemy;
By forgiving, he is superior.
Francis Bacon

Forgive all who have offended you, not for them, but for yourself.
Harriet Nelson

Holding on to anger is like holding on to a hot coal
with the intent of throwing it at someone else;
you are the one who gets burned.
Buddha

Actively pursuing or envisioning retaliation prevents us from focusing on living a meaningful life.
