Everyone carries baggage. People often carry someone else’s baggage undeservedly. The person that crossed you, they backstabbed you, went behind your back, and they never even apologized. They didn’t give you a simple sorry. Its unfair. But is it so unfair that you have to suffer and torment yourself for the rest of your life? Meanwhile the villain goes on like nothing happened. That is unacceptable and it isn’t fair for you.
Forgiving Others Is More For Your Own Well-being
You have to forgive to move on and be happy. That doesn’t mean everything is erased and move on like nothing happened. It doesn’t mean go back and be like it used to. No. You have to forgive because it is the only way to cleanse your own spirit and dump the baggage from the person who hurt you.
You Live Here In The Now, Not Back There In The Past
Unfortunately a lot of people continue to live in the past and they can’t see past it. You have to focus in the present. We live in the now, not in the past. Even if you try, you can’t go back. Focus on your present and on your future. Better yourself here and now. The past is gone and it’s never coming back.
You Have A Bigger Heart Than Them
We always question what went wrong. Why me? What did I do to deserve this and that? Why do people do things to you? All you ever did was in good heart, you have the best intentions, you were always there for them. Its just not fair. The truth is that no one has the endless loving heart that you do. Those monsters are not blessed with your kindness. You treat others how you would like to be treated. It is not your fault they don’t see it. They just don’t have the amazing heart that you do. Don’t stay around for anyone who isn’t going to appreciate and recognize that.
Best You Can Do Is Forgive
With all this in mind, one thing should be clear: the best you can do is forgive. Don’t carry the pain a person caused you for no reason. That person is ok and they don’t care. Who’s going to care for yourself, if not yourself? The past is dead, your present and your future is alive. Live for that. Stop asking why. People don’t have the love that you do have. Keep it safe and give it to the ones that truly see it and give it back. Forgive so that you can be happy. That baggage isn’t yours and therefore you shouldn’t carry it.
