6.forgive.

6.forgive.
This is the most powerful aid to peace of mind. We often develop ill feelings inside our heart for the person who insults us or harms us. We nurture grievances. This in turn results in loss of sleep, development of stomach ulcers, and high blood pressure. This insult or injury was done once, but nourishing of grievance goes on forever by constantly remembering it. Get over this bad habit. Life is too short to waste in such trifles. Forgive, Forget, and march on. Love flourishes in giving and forgiving.

6.forgive.
Two children playing in a park begin to argue. One says, I hate you! Im never going to play with you again! For a few moments, they play separately, and then they are back playing together and sharing toys. How do children manage to be so angry one minute and best of friends the next? The answer is simple, it is more important to them to be happy than to be right.

6.forgive.

Mental Tehniques.

Please forgive me.


Many broken relationships could be restored and healed if people would admit their mistakes and ask for forgiveness. All of us are vulnerable to faults, foibles and failures. A man should never be ashamed to own up that he has been in the wrong, which is saying, in other words, that he is wiser today than he was yesterday.
