How do YOU forgive? Maybe it will help me. For over a decade I have walked around bitter and angry at the world. Taking it out on innocent people and holding it against everyone who walks into my path of life. I am so tired of walking around with all of this on my shoulders. All I’ve ever heard is how much better I will feel and how at peace I will be if I just forgive. The problem is HOW? How do I do it? I have seen a million and one Oprah’s and Dr. Phil’s and numerous other shows where they talk about forgiveness. People will sit on stage next and say they forgive this person for killing their child, spouse, or parent. People forgive others everyday for all kinds of betrayals, heartbreaks, and such forth. I’m jealous. I want to be like them. I want so bad to forgive. There is nothing more I would like than to be able to forgive. I want to let go of the anger. I don’t want to give so much of my energy to this negative feeling anymore. I have been praying about it for a long time. So why can’t I do it? I already know it’s not about them, but me. I am sure they probably don’t care as much as I do. I doubt they walk around as bitter and mad as I am. Them, they, all of those people who have hurt me I’m sure have since moved on with their lives and don’t carry the pain I continue to feel. So this makes me angrier that I can’t move on. What is the secret? How can I want it so bad and not be able to do it? I am the one with the power, right? Someone help me please, I need to move on already!!!!!!!!

Think of it like this:
All your resentment is doing harm to you, and no harm to anyone else. It's as simple as that.
You use up valuable energy [mental energy] being like this.
Let it go, draw a line under the whole business, and then move on, free of it.
You really can do it.

The best way I could answer that question is with unconditional love. I find forgiveness by knowing in my heart and soul that everybody does their very best, that is all they know. It is not what you think their best should be. That is unconditional love.
Just remember it's not about you, it's about them. Dont let some else make you walk away and feel miserable the rest of your life.
Good luck

It is no way an eas thing to forgive, but one must, for our own sakes - otherwise we carry the burden around with us - as others have said, hang in there and move on with your head held high
good luck from me also - hug
