Forgiveness is a sign of strength from "summary" of Dare to Forgive by Edward M. Hallowell
Forgiveness is a sign of strength. It is not a sign of weakness or a lack of self-respect. In fact, it takes a great deal of courage and inner strength to forgive someone who has wronged you. It is easy to hold onto anger and resentment, to let it fester inside of you like a poison. But true strength lies in letting go of those negative emotions, in releasing yourself from the burden of carrying around that heavy weight. When you forgive someone, you are not saying that what they did was okay. You are not excusing their behavior or letting them off the hook. Instead, you are choosing to free yourself from the pain and bitterness that comes with holding onto a grudge. You are choosing to move forward with your life, to let go of the past and make room for healing and growth. Forgiveness is a gift that you give to yourself. It is a way of saying that you deserve peace and happiness, that you refuse to let someone else's actions define who you are. When you forgive, you are taking control of your own life, of your own emotions. You are choosing to focus on the positive instead of dwelling on the negative. You are choosing to let go of the past and embrace the present. It is important to remember that forgiveness is not always easy. It can be a long and difficult process, filled with ups and downs. But the journey is worth it. The freedom and peace that come with forgiveness are priceless. So, dare to forgive. Dare to let go of the anger and resentment that are holding you back. Dare to take control of your own happiness and well-being. Dare to be strong.
