Why should I forgive
Why should I forgive? Is there is a benefit for forgiving someone who has hurt me?
We all make mistakes. We hurt others and others hurt us, however, let’s face it, no one can change the past. All we have is today and specifically now. We have the choice to be in charge of our life and let go of all that hurt and the painful memories from the past. We have the choice to make harmony with whatever is affecting us negatively.
Many people mistake forgiveness with letting the other person who hurt you off the hook, but that is not really the purpose of forgiveness. The main purpose of forgiveness is to feel happier and to let go of the suffering, so you feel better.
Let me ask you a question, you are now hurt because someone has hurt you, but how is that suffering helping you? Whoever hurt you made a negative impact on you in the past, but today is a new day and your job is to make whatever is necessary for you to be happy.
Now, I’m going to mention to you a few major benefits of forgiveness that might help make it easier for you to forgive others and yourself.
Why should I forgive someone?
If you are asking the question “Why should I forgive someone who has hurt me?” then follow the below steps:
Feeling better
When you forgive, you are going to feel a lot better than if you stay with all the resentment. When you let go of all the pain and negativity, you can begin to see the light and enjoy life more.
Becoming healthier
When you are angry and resentful, you are also affecting your body and you are more prone to getting many sicknesses because of the negativity you hold toward others or yourself.
There is a connection between your mind and body and whatever you think and feel will affect your body. Do you know that more 75% of patients in the hospitals are there due to psychosomatic diseases?

No one likes people who tend to hold grudges and hostile emotions toward others for a long period of time. We humans are not perfect and we will always make mistakes.
Positive and successful people tend to take whatever happens to them less personally and they keep their eyes focused on the prize. If someone hurt them, they do get hurt, but they are more prone to letting go and forgiving others as they know no one is perfect and it doesn’t serve them to stay suffering for a long period of time.
I have highlighted some of the benefits of forgiveness and why it is important for you to forgive others and yourself. Now the question is, are you going to forgive whoever has hurt you?

Forgiveness may be the hardest thing to take over in life but i think it may heal our soul, so let the past be the past and focus on today and what will tomorrow holds for us.
Thanx for sharing Dia
For me, forgiveness is a gift we give ourselves, a freedom to discard and shed that which is no longer healthy or positive in our own life.
