Emotional baggage from the past is something that drags a lot of us down each time we try to move on. Forgiveness is the way to drop this baggage and start a new journey in your life.
Although it’s not that easy, forgiving those that have wronged you and leaving harsh feelings in the past allows you to create a better today and an incredible tomorrow.
Why is Forgiveness Necessary?
Forgiving a person who has hurt you in the past is difficult for some, very difficult for many, and it may even seem out of question to you if your memories of the past are still bitterly fresh and bruised.
One reason why we’re not often ready to forgive is because holding onto our memories helps us justify the decisions we made in the past or continue to hold as truth. But what we often don’t realize is that the past is actually holding us back too – stopping us from being utterly happy and completely satisfied with our life.
In other words, the weight of your past baggage prevents us from having complete control over current decisions and enjoying healthy relationships.
Seize your power!
So, seize your power by doing what you can – forgiving and letting go of the past instead of allowing the bitterness penetrate relationships and decision making.
Learn positive lessons from your past experiences and let go of the hurt, pain and blame, because these feelings only cause you to suffer more.
To set yourself free from the past baggage, set your enemy free too by forgiving them instead of blaming them.
Remember, you’re the author of your own life’s story, make it beautiful and inspiring instead of sad and hurtful!
