Forgiveness

In light of recent events, I feel like this post is much needed. It may be the hardest to do, but it is so worth it. Not only will you be happier, but you will also be more free. You won't be shackled down by hate and anger.

So here's the second tip:

Forgive people. This is not that easy to do sometimes. I recently found that I tend to hold grudges against people. I didn't think that I did, but I do. I kept on dwelling on mean things that people have said or done and I realized that in order to get rid of any anger I felt towards them, I needed to forgive them.One person in particular was really difficult to forgive and it took a long time to forgive him, but once I did, I felt like I could really let that part of my past go and finally move on. It's such a great feeling!

And here's a scripture to go with it!

"Wherefore, I say unto you, that ye ought to forgive one another; for he that forgiveth not his brother his trespasses standeth condemned before the Lord; for there remaineth in him the greater sin. I, the Lord will forgive whom I will forgive, but of you it is required to forgive all men." D&C 64:9-10
