May I request you to close your eyes, take a moment of pause to reflect internally, how many instances of hurt are you holding on to since your childhood till where you are in your life today….

I can bet, you can remember plenty of those bitter instances and how much hurt you are still holding….you remember each and every detail of those incidents and its still hurting! You almost lived few of those hurtful moments just now while remembering them. Sorry for putting you through this agony, my friend.

Just hold your thoughts for few more moments….Moreover, let me highlight the most important aspect here …that person who hurt you has apologized to you like a million times already. But it still hurts, isn’t it!

Pick any hit movie from Hollywood, Bollywood or any OTT series, when they say 3 magical words, they are always referring to “I love you“. Simple, even a young teen can tell, what’s the mystery around that!

Well, I beg to differ…..the 3 magical words should not be “I love you”, these should be “I forgive you” because I truly feel that when you forgive someone with your heart and soul, you not only show your love and compassion for others but equally for yourself!

When I am say “hurt”, let me clarify, I am not mentioning about crimes here, that is another level…. I am only talking about the wordly hurt that we feel in our relationships, when someone says something to us or behaves weirdly…..these are totally in our control! Do you agree?

I exactly know what you are thinking….its easier said than done and I totally agree and respect your thoughts here!

My friend, I request you for your own good, try believing in these magical words “I forgive you”, just in your thoughts for once.

While the memory is still fresh in your mind right now, as you just recalled it…take a moment to pause, with your whole heart and full compassion, just FORGIVE them for your own good health and well being. I promise you, it will make you feel so much better and so much lighter.

As clearly written in our holy books, everything is already pre-determined….we will be paid for our Karma (good as well as bad), then, why do we want to hold a grudge against our loved ones for something they said or did years back. There is no point to keep hurting yourself for years! Let go, feel free and live a fuller life….Try it and you can thank me in the comment page if you feel better!! Would love to hear back your experiences!

To conclude: Love yourself and let go of all bitter memories… trust me you will feel so much liberated and lighter. It’s totally in your hands, just try it once and you will then tell me “ I Love you” 😊
