When you forgive, you are freed from some of the feelings of disapproval and it can contribute to lessening your negative thoughts.

What you have suffered after you have healed will make perfect sense. You will be able to smile at how you overcome the tears of pain.

When you forgive, it does not mean that you have submitted, it simply means that you have made a choice to stop bearing any grudge.

You are the custodian of your own happiness. What other people say, do or think does not create a basis for your happiness. It is you who decides your own happiness, just like forgiveness.

The heart is where the journey of forgiveness begins.

Locking ourselves in the situation where we wish for sympathy and want to be looked at as the aggrieved party normally makes us powerless.

The moment we become forgivers, then we are in line to enjoy the benefits of forgiveness.

The idea of forgiveness is a journey that requires patience. If the journey of forgiveness is well travelled, there is a chance that we are bound to change in a very helpful way.

Sometimes we are very convinced that what we went through needs to be re-lived so we end up going back and forth to the demons of the past and eventually we fail to get over them.

Forgiveness does not change the past, that’s for sure, but it does change the future.

The minute we put aside our self-righteousness and move away from being the aggrieved, then we are on a healing process.

God is not ignoring your prayers, He is working behind the scene perfecting all that concerns you, praise Him.

The eyesight for an eagle is what thought is to a man.

Three guys and a girl were leaning against a black raised pickup ... I had to do a double take as this group was nothing like I had ever seen before.

You never know how long it will take. The route to success is unpredictable. So pack the essentials: parcels of love and peace, packets of patience and hope, and bundles of perseverance!

The old paradigm was pay to play. Now you get back what you authentically put in. You've got to be willing to play to play.

The notion dies hard that in some sort of way exports are patriotic but imports are immoral.

My responsibility is leadership, and the minute I get negative, that is going to have an influence on my team.

I had to stand in front of my refrigerator, which was open, dipping pretzels in cream cheese and stuffing them in my mouth. If I did that, I was good. Otherwise I was nauseous.

My husband and I were so closely united by our affection and our common work that we passed nearly all of our time together.

It is cruelty to be humane to rebels, and humanity is cruelty.
