BE FORGIVING OF OTHER – ALLOW ROOM FOR MISTAKES

Forgiveness gives you great strength. It teaches you to control your anger and stops you from harboring ill will and hatred towards other and there by purifies you. Many people thing that forgiving a person his/her misdeed is being kind to him/her. This is not so. By throwing away the burden of someone else’s mistakes and misbehavior. You are doing yourself a favour. Your mind and heart becomes clean and ready for fresh thoughts and actions. However, be careful that you do not forget the misdeeds or betrayals of others. If you remember them for the sake of reference alone, you will be able to avoid similar situations in the future and be more discerning in your encounters with people. You will stop giving opportunities to others to do wrong to you. In this context, you will be able to sift your friends, relatives and acquaintances and reserve you confidences or thoughts only for a few. Remembering the betrayal of people in your life will make you wiser and more focused on where to maintain secrecy and hold your silence. Remember, everyone makes mistakes. It is human to err. Most important, forgive yourself the mistakes you make and do not carry the burden of guilt. It weighs you down and slows your pace in life.
