After you’ve been hurt and you make the decision to forgive, aim for the “I’m out of here” response–that is, do the very least that you have to do in order to get emotional closure.

Is it fair that you got put into an emotional prison by the person who hurt you? No. Is it easy to get out of it? No. Is it worth it? Yes–because you are worth it.

Will you continue to carry the burden of being wronged by someone else, or will you break out of your personal prison and reclaim your place in the world of happy people?

When you forgive someone, you thrive despite him or her.

Anger is a fact of life. It is an emotion that should not be stifled. If you have been wronged, you should feel wronged and you should say so. It’s important that you correct someone who needs correcting. But then it’s important to do one other thing: to let the anger go.

One of the most difficult decisions in life is the decision to forgive someone who has hurt you deeply. But if you find the strength to forgive and to say “I will not hate you another day. I will not invest my spirit in you another day. I will forgive you so I can be free,” you will unlock the door to your prison.

The door to an emotional prison locks from the inside.

When you are filled with bitterness or loathing for someone else, you are locked in a bond with that person. Anger tightnes, rather than weakens, your bond with that person.

Be your own place, or the world’s your jail.

As long as you are nursing some kind of misery, you are not functioning at your peak. you are still letting a person’s attack hurt you.
