Forgiving does not delete the awful memories we experienced in our lives; as moments last for a second but memories live on forever!
Healed memory will never be a delete memory rather forgiving what we couldn’t forget creates new path and ways to remember, brings peace of mind, and it frees you from corrosive anger! Forgiveness makes us happier and improves our health because we let go of the bad memories of our past.
We can change bitter memories of our past into a hope for our future by wisely choose what we do with time! Many people say ‘time heals,’ but I beg to differ that; only what you do with time is your healer! For example, there are some people walking around mad like hell for something that happened 30+ years ago. As quick as we are to judge others, you may wonder why? Well, time does not heal you and unfortunately they haven’t find what to do to heal their broken emotions.
A wise man once said “we cannot change memories but we can change their meaning and power they have over us.” My advice to everyone, your memories is your shadow you cannot run away from it! For that matter, regardless of how painful it is don’t ever try to block out the memories of your past, as for everything you’ve lived through helps to make the person you are today. They only thing you can do is to take your time to forgive. I repeat, “take your time to forgive” because forgiveness is a process and its unique from each individual hence, there’s no need to rush or try to copy others!!
