How to Live a Long and Happy Life

Here’s how.  Forgive everybody who has ever injured you in any way.  The big injuries.  The small ones.  And everything in between.

Here’s why.  Unforgiveness kills you.  It creates great stress on your system.  That stress leads to sickness and disease.  And ultimately, you will die.

‘But you don’t know what they did to me!  I can never forgive them!’ you might say.

Well, until you forgive them…they are STILL doing it to you.

‘I want to forgive.  But I can’t!’ you might say.

Here’s what you need to understand.  Forgiveness is not a feeling.  It’s a decision.  If you wait until you FEEL forgiveness… you will never get around to doing it.  You will continue revisiting, replaying the injury…and it will become bigger and bigger.

DECIDE to forgive.  The feelings will follow.
