Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong
….by Marsha D. Egan, CPCU, ACC
 


"The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong." --Mahatma Gandhi

Leaders forgive.
They see the possibility of the future
They understand human imperfection.

"In taking revenge, a man is but even with his enemy; but in passing it over, he is superior." --Sir Francis Bacon

10 SECOND REALITY CHECK
How willing are you to forgive?
Are you carrying any grudges?
How long does it take you to forgive?

FOOD FOR THOUGHT
Carrying grudges keeps you from moving forward
People change
Forgiving releases negative energy
Forgiving makes you strong

"Life is an adventure in forgiveness." --Norman Cousins

SO, WHAT WILL YOU DO DIFFERENTLY
Think of anyone or anything you haven't forgiven.
Then, just DO it.
Do it now.
You'll be amazed at how you feel...

"One thing you will probably remember well is any time you forgive and forget." --Franklin P. Jones

Oh, and remember to start with yourself...

"If you haven't forgiven yourself something, how can you forgive others?" --Dolores Huerta
