Forgive and move on
Sometimes emotional pain from past relationships prevents people from moving forward. Emotional wounds are like physical wounds. If you continually irritate a cut on your hand, it remains open. If you clean it up and leave it alone, it heals.
Holding on to resentment and anger about hurts and betrayals prevent them from healing. Some of us were abused, grew up with alcoholic parents, or had unfaithful spouses. Perhaps a “once-in-a-lifetime” soul-mate romantic relationship tragically ended years ago.
Whatever the source of your distress, if years have passed and you still feel victimized and hurt, you are limiting yourself. These emotional distractions take time and energy away from creating a more wonderful life.
A wiser choice would be to forgive and let go. The purpose of forgiveness is not to benefit others, but rather to free yourself from the bondage of the past. Learning to forgive might require getting help. Just as medical doctors treat physical injuries, counselors help heal emotional wounds. Support groups, caring family and friends, and life coaches help people overcome troublesome memories.
Both your body and your mind have powerful, natural abilities to heal. You’ll never know what directions your life might take if you continue to hang on to anger and resentment. Opportunities in life are extraordinary. Instead of stopping yourself, forgive and move on.
