Forgiveness: one of the best tools to enhance happiness.

Forgiveness is a psychological factor with a great capacity to improve our quality of life.

If we were to make a list of people we should forgive, we would have to be in the first place.

It is hard to understand and accept this statement, but this is ..... The first person we should forgive is ourselves.. To understand this, to make the decision and to know how to do it, is not easy. It is a task of inner work, which leads you to a personal growth and a tremendous psychological load liberation.

Forgiveness is a valuable psychological resource

Forgiveness allows you to free yourself from limiting beliefs and attitudes. Free your mental and emotional energies, so you can apply them to creating a better life. And the fact is that we benefit enormously when we decide to forgive ourselves, and the same happens with everyone around us.

Think about the following reflection: do you find it difficult to forgive others? If the answer is yes, it means that you don't know how to forgive yourself either.

We have all been hurt at some point in our lives. We all experience daily situations in which we are the cause or the victim of an offense.. They are usually so minor that we try to forget them so as not to upset our emotional balance. After all, we trust that they will not be repeated, or we assume that there was no bad intention or, simply, that they will not affect our psychic stability.

However, when the damage exceeds our level of tolerance, when the damage exceeds our level of tolerance, the suffering becomes more intense.and if it is prolonged over time, it tests our mental and physical endurance. Then, to return the damage suffered, with the hope of recovering the balance, appears to us as something instinctive. But revenge only turns the victim into the aggressor, and does not ensure inner peace.

The secret lies in that inner journey of assuming that we are not perfect, that mistakes can be made, that we can make mistakes, and that we can be happy.that we can make mistakes, that we can learn from those mistakes. It is at that moment when the guilt fades away and we begin to really accept ourselves, with our good and bad things, knowing and feeling that we have the option to make mistakes and forgive ourselves.

Forgiveness helps us achieve even our most practical and immediate goals.

If you have not forgiven, a part of our inner life energy is trapped in resentment, anger, Pain or suffering of some kind..... This trapped life energy will limit us. It makes it difficult to move forward, frustrates us and slows us down in our personal development.

Understanding that we can all make mistakes will also help you to free yourself from guilt, which is the one that does not allow you to accept a mistake, but to blame for that mistake, but that disempowers you and makes you carry negative feelings with you.

Practicing forgiveness strengthens the goodness within you so that we become more active in our lives. Learning to forgive can only help you; it cannot hurt you.. You will accept yourself as you are and overcome guilt.

Forgiveness is immensely practical and useful. There is nothing vague or impractical about it. Forgiveness frees us. It will be as if you can see your life from above and you can see the easiest way to get to where you want to be. Life opens up in front of you.

As you learn to forgive, abilities that had been lying dormant within you will emerge, and you will discover that you are a much stronger and more capable person than previously imagined.
