Forgive others, and yourself !

(a Thought for the Week)

"Forgiveness does not change the past, but it does enlarge the future." ~ Paul Boese

"Forgiveness is the economy of the heart... forgiveness saves the expense of anger, the cost of hatred, the waste of spirits." ~ Hannah Moore

"My idea of forgiveness is letting go of resentment that does not serve your better interest, ridding yourself of negative thoughts. All they do is make you miserable. Believe me, you can fret and fume all you want, but whoever it was that wronged you is not suffering from your anguish whatsoever." ~ Della Reese

"I must learn to love the Fool in me, the one who feels too much, talks too much, takes too many chances, wins sometimes and loses often, lacks self-control, loves and hates, hurts and gets hurt, promises and breaks promises, laughs and cries." ~ Theodore Isaac Rubin

"We achieve inner health only through forgiveness - the forgiveness not only of others but also of ourselves" ~ Joshua Loth Liebman

This week's Thought was inspired by Karen's Short Minute on Forgiveness over at Live the Power.  You can view my Thoughts archive here
