Practice forgiveness

<p><a href="http://tinybuddha.com/blog/forgive-and-set-yourself-free/" target="_blank" title="Forgive and Set Yourself Free"><em><strong>Forgiveness sets you free</strong></em></a><em> from resentment’s confines; it breaks down the walls that anger builds and negativity reinforces.</em></p> <p>When we forgive, we stop letting our pasts dictate our presents. We acknowledge we want the very best for ourselves; accepting that our past makes us the person we are today, and embracing that.</p> <p>Letting go of resentment doesn’t necessarily lead to forgiveness, but when you embrace forgiveness, resentment ceases to exist.</p> <p>I know that I cannot control what other people do including family members, but I can control how I react.</p>
