Anyone can hold a grudge, but it takes a person with character to forgive. When you forgive, you release yourself from a painful burden. Forgiveness doesn’t mean what happened was ok, and it doesn’t mean that person should still be welcome in your life. It just means you have made peace with the pain, and are ready to let it go.

“This morning on my way to work I saw this jogging guy out on the trail by my place. I see him most days. Severely obese. You can tell every step is just painful for him. But I see him most days out there giving it everything he has. Today he was stopped. Hunched over. Crying. I was at the stop sign so I rolled down my car window and shouted, “You got this! You can do it!” He looked up almost in shock and said, “Thank you. I needed to hear that. I was about to give up.” He waved, wiped his face and started back down the trail. It’s a great morning.”

At the end of life, what really matters is not what we bought but what we built; not what we got but what we shared; not appearances but our character; and not our success but our significance. Live a life that matters. Live a life of kindness and love.

Sometimes it’s very hard to move on, but once you do, you’ll realize it was the best decision you’ve ever made.

Take life day by day and be grateful for the little things. Don’t get stressed over what you can’t control. Focus on the positive.

If you have the chance to make someone happy, just do it. Sometimes people are struggling silently. Maybe your act of kindness can make their day.

Not every day is a good day, live anyway. Not all you love will love you back, love anyway. Not everyone will tell the truth, be honest anyway. Not all deals are fair, play fair anyway.
