I love the time and attention you put into designing a very nice website. I also like this topic and I read through a lot of them. It’s a good way to start the day. I hope you can add some of your thoughts too. I look forward to coming back and reading more thanks for the post!
Thanks, Stephen for your encouragement.
I enjoyed writing these. They just flowed… out of my own experiences and those of others I imagine.
Regarding my “thoughts…” these were all written by me :-). Glad I could be of help and hope that you do start your day with them. Thanks for offering to return to the site.
All the best!

I enjoyed these quotes!
If I could go back 9 years ago and apply some of these quotes to my life, I’m sure things would have ended differently. I was angry with someone very close to me. A few weeks later they passed away tragically and I was never able to tell them that I forgave them. I guess my own stubbornness got the better of me.
People, forgive before it’s too late. Life is short!
I will end with this quote:
“It takes a strong person to say sorry, and an even stronger person to forgive.”
Dear Jean!
I am so sorry about your situation. I am sure you have learned so much from that and now you live on top of this lesson. When I was writing these precepts, I thought of several of my own experiences early in life… I believe that’s why they flowed. Experience is a great teacher.
Thanks for the quote and the great advice.
I wish you all the best and great success.

Forgiveness is important and powerful. It gives you a huge relief and energises you to be more active. This is because when you have forgiveness, you have a sound mind and when you have a sound mind, you are psychologically balanced. Forgiveness takes away bitterness and leaves you with purity of heart. What an awesome feeling.
Hi Kenechi. Thanks so much for your words of wisdom. This topic is one that has affected all of us in some way or the other. If we can have the right approach and truly forgive others, we can have a much higher quality of life.
Thanks for taking the time to read and share. Appreciated.

Wonderful article and great writeup as well about the importance and power of forgiveness. I really love the composition of the maxims you wrote and I’m inspired by them. Your words really shed a good bright spot light on the word forgiveness and as I just read through I realised I’ve been hurting and forgiving others is the way I could heal up quickly. Thanks for this, really helpful
Hi Ayodeji!
Thanks for reading and sharing your thoughts. I appreciate the encouragement very much.
I am glad that you were motivated by these. I know that forgiveness is the answer to many of life’s problems in relationships. It truly sets us free to live the life we were created to live.
All the best and much success.
David
It’s wonderful to read your post David. It is full of wonderful Maxims on forgiveness, a trait which is misunderstood and neglected by many. All the ancient wisdom around the world teaches love and forgiveness. But how often we put it into practice!
Sometimes forgiveness is tough and a symbol of weakness. Have you ever find yourself hard to forgive? BTW, I just want to add one line on forgiveness based on my experience. “Forgiveness is creating a room in your heart and mind to accept others”
Forgiveness is freedom. Thanks for sharing this post. I’m gonna share it for sure.
Hi Akshaysaxena!
Your quote is beautiful. I hope that many will read and apply this to their own lives.
Thank you very much for your encouraging words. You are right, many of our problems in life are caused by misunderstandings and the failure to forgive one another. If we spent every day being accountable for every moment – accountable to others for what we say/do, we could live more enriched lives.
I think that misconception that forgiveness is a weakness is responsible for its unpopularity.
Thanks and all the best.
David
Wow..this is a lovely piece.
This is an incredible article. I really love the way you outlined your review on importance and power of forgiveness. It is very educative and inspiring. Forgiveness is one of the key ingredients in one’s life if we really want to be free and live a life of no burden. I can not help but agree with all that you have written here. Thanks for sharing this.
Hi Michael!
Thanks for your kind comments. It is an important topic…one which affects all of us and if we get it right, can enhance our lives significantly.
Blessings!
David
This article is really powerful alot and spiritually loaded. Your quotes on forgiveness are really great and inspiring. The power of forgiveness is divine, and given those that sees life as nothing. When you forgive you experience internal peace within and free of grudges. Being a forgiving being is already forgiving a person even before they say sorry. Forgiveness is divine.
Hi!
Very well said and much appreciated. Thanks for reading and sharing.
All the best and much success to you.
David
This post is really interesting and helpful. Forgiveness is divine. One must learn to forgive self not just others because I remember when I was struggling with forgiveness to myself. Thank you for this awesome article because it has really liberated me more. I want more of this write-ups. Well done.
Thank you very much for taking the time to read and for your support.
Forgiveness is divine indeed…that’s why I believe that we cannot really forgive ourselves.
1. We can forgive others; 2. Others have the power to forgive us, but as far as I am concerned, only God has the power to forgive our personal “wrongs.”
What we should do is to simply forget the past, learn from it and not beat ourselves up. We must release it; we can’t change it no matter what.
All the best.
David
Hi
As I was reading your article what struck me was the person who holds the grudge against the other person suffers: is burdened, is unhappy, etc. yet the other person, obviously, in many cases, is unaware of the bridge built between the two parties. He/She goes around undisturbed, light, with not a care in the world, accomplishing dreams and goals.
It is odd but one would think if I am so worked up about what another person does to me that that individual would be affected in some way. Heck no!!!!
A beautiful lesson to be learnt here. When I choose not to forgive the only person I hurt is me.
