The Road to a Happier Life: Part 3 - You’re Facing Forward, But Your Heart is Looking Back

We’ve talked about forgiveness and why it plays such an important role in living a life without anything holding us back. We’ve discussed how to apologize and its importance in amending the wrongs we have done to others. But then what? You’ve either forgiven a person, or been forgiven, and now you’re here - but where exactly is “here”? Have you actually let the issue go, or are you still holding animosity in your heart? For most people, it is the latter half. Even though what’s done is done, and we have dealt with the situation head on, we still can’t seem to move past it. We just can’t seem to let go of what happened. Now, I am not saying we should necessarily forget it - because that is close to impossible to do without orthodox means - but being able to move past the event is like getting those soothing additional 5 minutes of sleep before you get up - it’s the finishing touch that plays a significant role in attaining satisfaction.
