We all have our past –filled with its share of good, bad and the difficult to forget memories.
In most cases, if one were to forget those aforementioned memories (or at least let them become as irrelevant as they possible could), one would have to be someone who easily forgives and forgets.
As we mature, we realize that forgiveness is the first step towards healing ourselves and when we forgive someone for the hurt they put us through, we open ourselves to bigger and better things in life.
After all, it’s not for nothing that forgiveness is considered to be a trait of the strong.
So, all you brave little hearts, here are 7 signs that show that you are a person who easily forgives and forgets, a virtue that more people could do with and make the world a happier place:
1. You still choose to remember the best of them.
No matter how abruptly or painfully things ended with someone you have previously loved (a boyfriend/girlfriend, a friend or even a family member), you still remember the best of them and fondly recall all the positive memories you have with them.
2. You don’t let your past come in the way of your present and future.
You don’t let the bitter experiences of your past come in the way of your present or future relationships.
You are mature enough to understand that everyone comes with their own baggage and it’s wrong to burden the beautiful people in our lives with our baggage of fear and disappointment.
3. You don’t mull over the fights that happened in the past.
You are definitely not the one to bring up the fights or arguments of the past. Instead, you are gracious enough to let go of what happened and start building on a happier and peaceful future.
4. You believe in the principle of live and let live.
You realize that you really have no control over the behavior of others or their karma, so why punish yourself for the wrong done by them? Instead, you’re someone who moves over their painful past and opens themselves up to the better and bigger things in life.
5. You always choose peace over conflict.
You are intelligent enough to understand that cribbing and arguing aren’t really of much help as they appear to be. Instead, it’s better to walk away from painful situations and maybe give them some time, for things might just get normal on their own?
6. You believe in the principle of “Life is too short for the drama.”
You are truly someone who loves life, for you are not willing to waste your precious time on people/ situations that drain you. So, you choose to let the drama pass on, while you focus on the better and brighter things life has to offer.
7. You understand that every person has a shelf life in your life.
You understand that you meet people for a reason - they are either a blessing or a lesson. You are not willing to suffer, for you understand that everyone here is to play a part. And as soon as their part gets over, they’ll make an exit, which could be either painful or pleasant.
