Embrace forgiveness as a way of life from "summary" of Dare to Forgive by Edward M. Hallowell
Forgiveness is not just a one-time event, but a way of life. It is a mindset, a practice, a commitment to letting go of resentment, anger, and the desire for revenge. It is a choice we make every day, in every interaction, in every situation. When we embrace forgiveness as a way of life, we free ourselves from the burden of carrying around old grudges and grievances. We release ourselves from the chains of the past and open ourselves up to a future filled with possibility and peace. We stop being prisoners of our own bitterness and start living in the present moment, fully engaged with the world around us. Forgiveness is not always easy. It requires humility, compassion, and courage. It means acknowledging our own imperfections and vulnerabilities, as well as those of others. It means seeing beyond the surface of anger and hurt to the humanity that lies beneath. It means letting go of our need to be right, our need to win, our need to control. Forgiveness is a gift we give ourselves. It is an act of self-care, self-love, and self-respect. It is a way of honoring our own worth and dignity, as well as the worth and dignity of others. It is a way of healing our own wounds and creating space for healing in others. When we embrace forgiveness as a way of life, we transform ourselves and the world around us. We break the cycle of violence and aggression that perpetuates suffering and division. We create a culture of empathy, understanding, and reconciliation. We become agents of change, ambassadors of peace, and champions of justice. Forgiveness is not a sign of weakness, but of strength. It takes great courage to let go of the past and move forward with an open heart and mind. It takes great wisdom to see beyond the surface of conflict and find common ground with those who have hurt us. It takes great love to embrace forgiveness as a way of life.
