Biggest lesson learned this year is probably to not give so much of yourself to people who will not do the same for you.
Forgiveness is not about forgetting. It is about letting go of your pain. When you forgive someone you release them from judgment. Forgiveness in no way requires that you trust the one you forgive.
Having a positive attitude gives you the power to uplift, the power to create change, the power to motivate, the power to inspire, the power to influence, the power to cultivate happiness, and the list goes on. - Lindsey...
"My mother would take the Band-Aid off, clean the wound, and say, "Things that are covered don't heal well." Mother was right. Things that are covered do not heal well." ― T.D. Jakes, Healing the Wounds of the Past
To BE KIND is MORE important than to be right. Many times, what people need is NOT a brilliant mind that speaks but a SPECIAL HEART that LISTENS.
It really doesn't matter if the person who hurt you deserves to be forgiven. Forgiveness is a gift you give yourself. You have things to do and you want to move on.
Sometimes we don't appreciate what we already have because we're too focused on what we want.
As we go through life, we start to understand that it's not important to have a lot of friends. What truly matters is that we have real friends.
Never let people walk over you in life, never let anyone judge you and never let anyone destroy your character.
