I preach love, peace, and forgiveness, not because I’m the best at it, but solely because it’s the right thing to do

To love, be at peace, and forgive everything and everyone is the best thing you can do for yourself

There’s so much that disturbs one’s happiness, there’s so much that makes one cry, there’s so much that threatens one's hopes of survival, but to always find a way to forgive, love again, and be at peace is the best thing you can do

We attach ourselves to things and people. In so doing, we expose ourselves to disappointments and hurt because people will hurt you, people will let you down, people will do all sorts of things that make you regret ever meeting them, and simply move on as if nothing happened

Find a way to forgive even if the apology was not offered, find an excuse to free yourself. I can tell you now, that is the most difficult thing to do. But go on and accept that apology that was never offered to you, find an excuse to forgive everything

I always think that if our lives could somehow be everything we’ve always wanted, we would have no reason to keep working hard or make a difference. We will have nothing to motivate us to dream big, to make changes in our small spaces, because everything will be the same

We won’t know much about life, its ups and downs, because everything will just be the same

But the bad days, the bad people, the pain, the distractions help us understand the difference, force us to look forward to another day with a fresh and dedicated mind that wants to do better. They give us a point of reference to know what’s fun and bad, what we should do, and what we should avoid at all costs

That’s why, in my opinion, we need bad days to keep us going and for our personal development. We need to have met bad people at least once in our lives to know what a bad person is

However, whenever you get hurt after encountering those kinds of people, the bad things, learn to forgive because holding on might do more harm than good
