Forgiveness can be one of the best gift you can give to yourself.

Forgiveness is the act of pardoning an offender.
We forgive when we let go of indignation without compensation for the hurt,pains and loss suffered.

Holding up to anger cannot bring justice to the offender nor hold them accountable for their wrong doings. The grief and pains affects just you. Yes! you.
Holding unto anger does not give you power rather it drains your strength.

Always remind yourself that you ain't in the right position to bring justice to anyone.
Evreyone has their own energy level and will experience the result of their actions, so you can't control their actions and decisions but you've got yours to control.

Forgiveness is the key to freedom!

When you are offended,grief, pain,anger and vengeance are created.These deviates your mind from your primary purpose, causing great deal of distractions because your mind is just focused on how to revenge and deal with your offender. You spend your time planning for another, yes! For another. As time passes, you might miss that your target because you have invested the time meant for your goal into another and this might keep you from enjoying your potentials of today and wonders of morrow.
