Written by Judi Singleton

Continued from page 1
Understand that forgiving does not mean giving permission for repparttar

behavior to be repeated. 3.The third stage of forgiveness is when you have had some practice with forgiveness and see repparttar 126823

benefits to you by forgiving others. You choose to only stay angry a short amount of time. You realize that it is pretty much up to you how long you stay angry. 4. You realize life is just too short to stay angry at anyone. You realize that you and everyone else is doing repparttar 126824

best they can. Most people operate out of self-interest including myself. It is my choice how long I stay angry so I choose to let it go. There are people in our life we love and are commited to and are almost always at four with them ready to forgive and get on with life. While there are those that we hang onto repparttar 126825

real or imagined hurts for years. This hanging on cheats us out of a lot of time and peace in life so let go and let your Higher Power take away repparttar 126826

hurt. Now you are free to move on with your life without that burden of bitterness. Do not look back in anger.
