You can change!

We cannot change the past. We can only change the way we see it and how we keep on reacting to it. The past can hunt us as long as we let it do so.

To stop the past from influencing the present, we must forgive. Forgiveness is a powerful way to act in the present and change what shall come next.

“The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.”

- Mahatma Gandhi

First, what needs to be forgiven, is you. Yes, whatever had happened, whatever your involvement in it was, you need to forgive yourself first. Then, and only then will you find the strength to change the influence it has on your present.

“When you forgive, you in no way change the past - but you sure do change the future.”

- Bernard Meltzer

There is no guaranty that forgiving will help anyone else, but it will surely help you. 

Forgive and move on

You can’t change the past. You can’t change what did happen. You can only change how you choose to react to it right now.

“Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.”

 - Martin Luther King, Jr.

Forgiveness is not for others, it’s for you. It will liberate you from the burden of hate that is gripping your heart.

Forgiving is clearing the negative energy poisoning your life. That poison will drag you down if you keep drinking from it.

“When you forgive, you in no way change the past - but you sure do change the future.”

 - Bernard Meltzer

Forgiving is not for the week. It takes a lot of courage to forgive and move on.

“You can't forgive without loving. And I don't mean sentimentality. I don't mean mush. I mean having enough courage to stand up and say, 'I forgive. I'm finished with it'.”

 - Maya Angelou

You just can do your best right now.

“Forgive yourself for your faults and your mistakes and move on.”

 - Les Brown

“Forgiveness means letting go of the past.”

 - Gerald Jampolsky
