Motivational Minute (12_81)



Quote of the day:

“Forgiveness is the economy of the heart...Forgiveness saves the expense of anger, the cost of hatred, the waste of spirits.” -- Hannah More

Consider:

The power to forgive is one of the greatest powers given to man. It is part of the nature and essence of God, and when you exercise it you assume godlike stature. You have the power to forgive and thus rise above the pettiness of mortals.

Choosing to forgive another is one of the hardest things most people ever do, especially to forgive something that is undeserved. It is difficult, because to forgive is not part of human nature. Human nature cries out for revenge and retribution. But why get stuck in human nature?

Whether that person who wronged you deserves forgiveness or not is not the core issue. The issue is you doing the right thing. No one really deserves forgiveness. If others have done wrong, they deserve justice. But forgiveness is greater than justice. Justice is human; forgiveness is divine.

Take time to consider if there is someone you need to forgive.

Wishing you all the best,

Coach Dana
