FORGIVING PEOPLE
Where do we get the idea that if WE don't forgive people, THEY suffer?
It's nuts!
Let's say:
a) You are my boss and you give me the sack, or
b) You are my girl and you run off with my best friend.
So I say, "I'll NEVER forgive you!"
Who suffers?
NOT YOU!
I get the knot in my stomach.
I lose the sleep.
You are probably out partying!
While I resent you, I SUFFER!
Meanwhile I tell myself, "I'm right!"
But being "RIGHT" doesn't guarantee happiness.
Here's the point ...
To forgive someone, you don't have to AGREE with what they did.
You just have to want your life to work.
You don't forgive people for THEIR benefit.
You do it for YOUR benefit.
So this is your mission for the next 24 hours:
Think of someone that has hurt you.
Just today, practise letting go of all resentment toward them.
Gather all your ANGRY thoughts -
those "I am right and they are wrong" thoughts,
and let them go.
You may like to use your creative imagination ...
.. put all that resentment into an imaginary balloon,
and let it float away.
Throughout the day, repeat the process.
You will feel better.
Forgiving people may be tough, but is possible.
You forgive people for YOUR benefit.
It makes YOU happier.
Best wishes,

So truly written that we dont forgive them for their benefit but we did this for our benefit,its true why we make us in trouble that if some one cheats you,forget and say thanks to him or her that she saves your life and give you a chance to realize that i can live without you.
Wow term paper writes very well, and i have some lines to all those who thinks that their life is finished if some one leave them no there is nothing like that after reading these lines i hope there must be a hope that you guys stand again and move towards success.So these lines are. "Your first mistake was leaving me and your 2nd mistake was giving me the chance to realize that i could live without you".Thanks
