Hi Everyone,
Learning to Forgive
---------------------------
We all harbour the wish to heal our emotional wounds. What exactly is forgiveness?
Forgiveness is not just saying "I forgive you."It is an active, conscious decision to let go of anger, resentment and bitterness, and to do so regardless of whether the object of anger seems worthy of being forgiven.
In fact, the moment you form a
Same Adversity, Different Results, One Lesson
Not many of us are able to avoid challenges (at times beyond our control) but what is within our control, is how do we manage it..Once there was a daughter complained to her father that her life was miserable and that she didn’t know how she was going to make it.

“ People look for retreats for themselves, in the country, by the coast, or in the hills . . . There is nowhere that a person can find a more peaceful and trouble-free retreat than in his own mind. . . . So constantly give yourself this retreat, and renew yourself. ”

LOVE IS NOT A GIFT IT'S A BATON...
Based on the parable of the unmerciful servant who received mercy but didn't pass it on.

WHAT WlLL YOUR CHANGE BE?
Will heartbreak make you bitter and mean?
Or will it make you understanding and kind?
Will it make you appreciate the love that is REAL in your life? Will it make you more selective with the love you give to others?
How has heartbreak changed who you are?
Are you better or worse than you were before heartbreak? If you feel like your worse...what can you do to improve that?

"It must be borne
in mind that the tragedy of life doesn't lie in not reaching your goal. The tragedy lies in having no goal to reach. It isn't a calamity to die with dreams unfulfilled, but it is a calamity not to dream. It is not a disaster to be unable to capture your ideal, but it is a disaster to have no ideal to capture. It is not a disgrace not to reach the stars, but it is a disgrace

There is a bile inside every animal.
All butchers know this.
It is small but mighty.
Once the bile bursts the entire meat is ruined with irreparable bitterness.

You cannot eat everything,
You cannot say everything,
You cannot fight every fight,
You cannot profit from every deal,
Discretion is the better part of valour.

I have discovered that love doesn't guarantee the success of a relationship. Love cannot help you stick to one person all years round, and on the other hand, cheating isn't always a product of not loving your partner. In fact, loving someone doesn't guarantee not falling in love with someone else.
Relationships work out mostly because of our head not our heart. It works out because of our
