Forgive To Live Peacefully And Healthy

The following article highlights the importance of practicing the act of forgiveness in our daily life for finding the path to a meaningful existence:

Forgiveness is the ability to regain peace when part of your life didn’t work out the way you wanted. 

Getting hurt by others is inevitable. It feels lousy. And sometimes that bad feeling lasts and lasts. Fred Luskin, PhD ’99, has a radically simple (though not easy) way to feel better: Forgive.

Luskin, founder of the Stanford University Forgiveness Projects (https://lnkd.in/fdhAM3v) and author of Forgive for Good, says that in the most elemental terms, to forgive is to let go of bad feelings or the desire for revenge after you’ve been harmed. “You’re letting go of your internal bitterness, resentment and self-pity over an experience that’s in the past,” he says." 

Now, let me conclude with an excellent message: The Course in Miracles (https://lnkd.in/fWssTr7) says that “all disease comes from a state of unforgiveness,” and that “whenever we are ill, we need to look around to see who it is that we need to forgive.”
