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

I’ve discovered that the single most effective way for me to be unhappy is to refuse to forgive – in other words, to continue to be upset after the thing that made me upset has already happened. I am one of those super-duper sensitive people – my feelings get hurt all the time. Tailgate me, upset. Low in the bank, upset. Speak to me in that tone, upset. But forgiving isn’t easy if I’m not spiritually fit. By doing my daily inspired reading, writing and sharing in the morning, I’m less sensitive, less reactive, and forgive more easily. This makes me happier, and when I’m happy ILML!
