Decide To Forgive

Decide to forgive,for resentment is negative,
resentment is poisonous.
Resentment diminishes
and devours the self.

Be the first to forgive, to smile
and to take the first step.
And you will see happiness bloom on the face
of your human brother or sister.

Be always the first; do not wait for others to forgive
For by forgiving you become the master of fate,
The fashioner of life, the doer of miracles.

To forgive is the highest, most beautiful form of love.
In return you will receive untold peace and happiness.

Here is the program for achieving a truly forgiving heart:

Sunday: Forgive yourself.
Monday: Forgive your family.
Tuesday: Forgive your friends and associates.
Wednesday: Forgive across economic lines.
Thursday: Forgive across cultural lines.
Friday: Forgive across political lines.
Saturday: Forgive other nations.

Only the brave know how to forgive. A coward never forgives.
