Love cannot flow where there is hate. When you don’t forgive, you hurt no one but yourself

Love cannot flow where there is hate. Our minds are conditioned to think that we punish others by being unforgiving. It isn’t true. When you don’t forgive, you hurt no one but yourself. It takes a lot of energy, time and emotional space to hold someone in unforgiveness. .
.

But at the same time it is hard to forgive. How do we forgive the lies, the cheating, the fights, the harsh words, the humiliation and the all the pain our previous relationships have caused us. How do we even forgive ourselves for staying? For believing when the signs were obvious? We take a deep breathe and let go. .
.
We choose every day not to be defined by our mistakes, past hurts and failed relationships. We choose to realise that our ex’s are human, flawed just like we are. But most of all we choose to believe that God has something much better in store for us. So we let go and keep moving forward.#relationshipgoals
