The Art of Forgiving

Got this lovely piece from another blog...

To FORGIVE. It's difficult,
especially when the other person doesn't deserve
your forgiveness or doesn't even seek it. It's
difficult when the other person is clearly in the
wrong.

Forgiveness doesn't mean that the other person's
behavior is okay. He's still
responsible for his misbehavior.

Forgiveness is about letting yourself off the
emotional hook. It's about releasing your negative
emotions, attitudes, and behaviors. It's about
letting go of the past so you can go forward to the
future.

Everyone in your life,
everyone on and off the job
is going to disappoint you. If you know how to
respond to those situations, you'll be way ahead of
most people.

Dialog from You have got mail:

Tom Hanks to Meg Ryan:

"It is business, it is not personal - keep repeating that to yourself."

Meg Ryan to Tom Hanks:

"What do you mean by it is not personal? What you mean is that - it is not personal to you, but it is personal to me and it is personal to a lot of people. What is wrong in being personal anyway? - Whatever it is, everything starts with being personal!"
