Quotes About Forgiveness

We need to stop all criticism.

I often ask clients, "Would you rather be right or would you rather be happy?" We all have opinions on who was right and who was wrong according to our own perceptions, and we can all find ways to justify our feelings. We want to punish others for what they did to us; however, we are the ones running the story over and over in our own minds. It is foolish for us to punish ourselves in the present because someone hurt us in the past.
