Forgiveness

Forgiveness the act of forgiving or the state of being forgiven. Willingness to forgive. Something that sounds so easy can be so hard. It takes more energy to be angry than it does to be happy. So why hold onto the anger? Why is it so hard to move on sometimes? I ask myself this a lot. Of course 5 or 10 years ago I probably wouldnt even consider this act for what Im considering it for. With so much stuff going on lately its hard to find the positive, but my goal is to find it. Ill forgive the ppl whom I feel dont care for me as much as I care for them. Ill continue to try and make myself better. A better friend to others who arent such a good friend to me. I know though ppl need to see love, caring and to feel worthwhile to someone. So even though I may not always recieve it from others I will do my best to give it to them. So Im going to try and say something positive, uplifting everyday. Try to cut the negative from my life and be forgiving. If I extend an offer for something and its not taken for whatever reason I wont stew on it, Ill just know I did my best. Im going to try and live everyday with the I did my best to make this better attitude. I dont like being angry and find I feel that way a lot towards ppl whom I feel have not given me a chance and hurt me. Who knows, maybe they feel the same way.
