Forgiveness is the key to Happiness – Part I

It’s a proven fact that we cannot be happy unless your mind is at peace but from where do we get the peace in our lives? In life there are lots of high’s and low’s, we need not be so attached to all the low’s or ugly things happening in our life. Lets take an example of a situation where some other person hurts you some time ago. You get very depressed with what that person has done to you. Perhaps, he behaved with you in a very bad manner. I understand, you might even feel broken and hurted by their actions. So what’s next, you cannot change the situation either. Sometimes, life does not give you any options. You have to accept what’s being offered to you. The pain is or was too severe for you to forget that incident. But who is going to get hurt by it. You, yourself! If you keep that pain lingering in your mind for long run, it is going to be painful and is going to be miserable for you. As we keep relieving pain over and over again, it would be really difficult to let go off the hard times.

The main supreme reasons for your problems are your very own worries and unhappiness that erupts from your thinking of problems over and over again. Instead of getting your life better, this can actually ruin relationships, can be a de-motivating factor at work and may disturb other things in life. We become reluctant to open up to new things and get trapped in a cycle which will only bring you anger and hurtful. The whole life gets trapped in this cycle and by the time you retrieve yourself out of it, you will see the wonderful beauty of life has already passed by. The best idea to be happy is to learn to let go off things and forgive people so that we can move on in life and always be happy.

For a while, it was difficult for me to accept the challenges and loads of problems of life but as I learnt to recuperate from it. It is not easy, I agree, but you will be happy for sure and would take pride that you choose this path. In my personal experiences, I have seen that forgiving a person will relieve you the pain that person has given you and over years you will realize that you have started liking the person once again and that is the way life moves on. I still face problems at work, at home, but we need to understand that life is not easy. We are here to accept the challenges of life and move on with all the happiness that we could gather.

FORGIVING A PERSON CAN CHANGE YOUR LIFE, stay by this norm to always stay hale and hearty. There are some crumbling facts to the above sentences I stated. Forgiving is not going to change that person or his behavior and I know you would not be able to forget it in your lifetime about what has happened. You do not have control over things, when you forgive, it means that you are letting go off the pain and anger and willing to live a new life.
