Another good quote

"Of all the initiatives people can take who feel a devastating wrong has made them miserable, one stands above all others in effectiveness. It is actually seeking forgiveness for having refused to forgive."
The Arbinger Institute

I believe this applies not only to forgiving others, but ourselves! Stop beating yourself up, forgive, and move forward with confidence that you can be whole again.

Forgiveness can be such a challenge in itself but I have heard of people who have been healed physically because they forgave someone who had wronged them. and sometimes that someone was themselves. Have you come across the book Grace and Forgiveness by Carol and John Arnott? It is so simple yet so profound.

Thanks! I'll have to look into reading that book. I know our thought and belief patterns keep us where we are at, and if we change them we can heal--forgiving can can certainly change our hearts and our bodies.
