On Day 4 of Life Transformation Challenge

The need to practice Forgiveness to overcome hurt.

In an imperfect world, people may hurt us. However, instead of cultivating resentment, if we develop the quality of Forgiveness, then we will become the master of our emotions and grow spiritually.  Even though we should forgive, we should never forget to learn the lessons before moving on. Make a New Year's Resolution to give up resentment and grudges. It will help you control your mind and emotions and become a wise person.

Action item for day 4: Think about the number of times someone hurt you. How many times did you lose your peace of mind? Were you able to realize that you are hurting yourselves for days through the resentful feelings more than the person who hurt you? Make it a habit to remember this lesson every time you get hurt and immediately eliminate the resentful thoughts through Forgiveness and move on with your life. It may be hard initially, but with practice, it's possible. Revisit this gem of wisdom many times to get mastery over it. Let us know how you plan to implement this quality of Forgiveness.
