We all have heard about forgive and forget. Well, I am not really sure about forgetting things otherwise I believe you will repeat the same mistake again and again.
But learning forgiveness is like giving the best gift to your mind and soul. It gives you relief and takes you away from negative thoughts.
Your whole day depends on the seeds that you give to your mind on a daily basis. If you are having a happy thought, you will be happy the whole day, if you are having negative thoughts, you will be sad and sometimes angry the whole day.
I am not a psychologist, but I have observed myself that when someone makes me angry and annoyed I get frustrated and distressed. And that negative feeling doesn’t affect the other person but me.
Yelling and screaming are normal actions I guess for normal people like me, but then it hurts more. My whole day becomes worse with zero productivity and that becomes more annoying.
And moreover, if you contain the negative thought about someone in your mind for a longer duration of time you are really doing injustice to yourself.
Holding hatred for someone will consume a portion of your mind that could have been used for a better purpose. And I don’t think you really want that. You might take yourself into the same situation and feelings again just by thinking about that person.
Holding a grudge for someone is easier than forgiving I believe. But easy ways generally take you to the path full of thorns. And following the difficult path might lead you to the meadow… I read somewhere. So following the difficult path is a good option. At least we can give it a try.
I am learning this habit too. Sometimes it gets really difficult. Being a practicing architect sometimes I meet people whom I want to punch on their faces because of their behavior. But I really can’t do that so I have to let it go…
Forgive, not because that person deserves that but actually your mind needs that.
Learn to forgive, it’s a habit that you can develop with time and practice.
That’s all for today. Thank you for reaching the end. I really appreciate it. It will be wonderful if you will write your thought about forgiveness in the comment section below and we can have a discussion over that.
Till then be positive, be happy, be peaceful and be satisfied!
Keep smiling 🙂
