I like this quote, but it’s definitely more of a “working toward this” kind of quote instead of something I have already achieved. Just let someone cut me off in traffic or walk too slow in front of me in Walmart, and it becomes very evident that forgiveness is not my first response to provocation!
But neither is retaliation, so that is a step forward in my book. I just want to live my life, be happy, and focus on who and what are important to me. The rest is just noise, distraction. I’m not interested in scoring points or getting in the last word or deepest dig. I’m not entertained by old grudges or tiresome pissing matches. I want to add value to each day, build positive memories, experience and feel and look forward with hope, not back with regret.
