“If you stay in that new flow of positive behavior, it’s hard to revert back to old patterns. But if you do fall off, just forgive yourself, recover quickly, and get right back on.”

Your energy has far more power than you can even imagine. There is energy in your spoken words, in your emails, and in your physical presence.

Now is the perfect time to make powerful change-your willingness is at an all-time high.

Bring acceptance and compassionate self-talk. Say nice things to yourself – you’re the only one listening. Tell yourself, I am doing the best I can.

I think quite often we hold onto trauma because we don’t process it.

I would suggest that the next generation stop looking for happiness outside of themselves but instead turn inward.

Forgiveness isn’t about letting the other person off the hook – it’s about releasing ourselves.

Be faithful that your authentic power is all you need to truly share your light with the world.

Healing opportunities can be disguised as people who really piss you off. Pay attention because they could be your greatest teachers.

To begin your commitment to new perceptions, start by paying attention to attack thoughts toward yourself and others.

People carry around resentment for years! And that creates daily stress.

What makes me most happy is connecting with others. I love meeting new people, being social, and engaging in empowering discussions.

The more you retrain yourself to choose happiness over fear, the more blissful you will be.

Remember that you have a choice in what you see. If you choose to see a person’s darkness, you strengthen your darkness within. If you choose to see their light, you shine from the inside out.

The issue is that if you hold onto the resentment against yourself, you’re just going to recreate that destructive pattern in different forms because unconsciously it’s still a belief system that limits you.

When you repeat a new pattern often, you literally change the neural pathways in your brain. This shift helps true change settle in.

Happiness is your choice. You can choose today.

I will never forgive Joe for that awful operation he had performed on Rosemary. It is the only thing I have ever felt bitter toward him about.

Forgiveness can be bittersweet. It contains the sweetness of the release of a story that has caused us pain, but also the poignant reminder that even our dearest relationships change over the course of a lifetime.

Forgiveness is a way of opening up the doors again and moving forward, whether it’s a personal life or a national life.

A natural law; ‘forgive them or become them.’ slowly, unnoticeably, surely.

Every person I failed to forgive, I became.

My past life is abundantly full of God’s mercy, and, above all sin, stands the forgiving love of the Crucified.

If there are occasions when my grape turned into a raisin and my joy bell lost its resonance, please forgive me. Charge it to my head and not to my heart.

One must learn to forgive and not to hold a hostile, bitter attitude of mind, which offends those about us and prevents us from enjoying ourselves; one must recognize human shortcomings and adjust himself to them rather than to be constantly finding fault with them.
