Is your heart heavy and laden with anger; are you wounded by the pierce of a word that was spoken with thought unregarded; are you hurt by the things that you heard?
Does the sun and its rays all elude you; do your eyes never light in a smile? Are you plagued with a need to get even; are your feelings as bitter as bile?
Then it's time to let go of emotions that afflict your mind and your soul, and it's time to start mending some fences, with forgiveness your ultimate goal.
You may think that it's hard to accomplish, that your pride is too great to give in, but the one who hangs on to resentment is the one who will never win.
For the person who is the bigger winner and the person who's learned how to live is not the one who harbors ill feelings but the one who has learned to forgive.
