"Anger is like one of those towns you've been through...it's an okay place to visit, but you won't enjoy staying there too long."
"Forgiveness is something you do for you, not something you're doing for the person you're upset with."
"Healthy anger and true forgiveness are both about letting go and moving on."
"Premature forgiveness happens when you forgive someone without ever really feeling or releasing your anger. When you do this, you're really lying to yourself, and others will know you have not truly forgiven."
We're talking quite a bit about anger here, as you've probably realized. That's because anger is the reason that forgiveness is needed.
"Healthy anger is a protective emotion."
"Healthy anger is strong emotional energy that you can use for constructive, positive action."
"When you decide not to forgive, that doesn't mean you're keeping the wrongdoer "on the hook" for what they've done. We are all accountable, with or without forgiveness."
"One way to know if your forgiveness is complete is to check your relaxation level and your breathing. When you forgive, you will breathe a sigh of relief, and your body will relax. Forgiveness makes you more healthy, loving and joyful."
