Teach me Tuesday

Okay, back again, I really don't start and stop things as much as I do this blog. If I could just really focus on setting sometime to do it. There is so much I want to discuss but I always seem to find an excuse... maybe out of fear that no one will read it, or think I am weird. But I am who I am like it or not.
Anyway! I am vowing to make more of an effort now.

So what did I learn today, it is something I have been learning a lot about over the past few months, but it is certainly something I struggle with. Forgiveness. I am reading this book that is basically all about forgiveness. If you want to know the book let me know and I will give you the information.
So as I've been reading, I have been trying to pay attention to important points but here is something that really stuck out to me.

                      forgiveness is a choice, and you do not have to forgive or believe in forgiveness. But do your            best to look at the consequences of your choice to forgive or not forgive, letting your heart help decide.

"believe that holding on to anger does not bring you what you really want."

Forgiveness does not mean saying that what a person did to you is okay, it is just saying I am not letting the emotional struggle stick with me, and when I realized that, it opened my eyes and my heart.
 Holding on to pain and anger is useless because so often the other person has moved on and you are stuck spinning your wheels.

So I am being taught the value of forgiveness.
