True forgiveness is not an action after the fact, it is an attitude with which you enter each moment.

an absolute heart of gold.

Attitudes are nothing more than habits of thoughts, and habits can be acquired. An action repeated becomes an attitude realized.

My idea of forgiveness is letting go of resentment that does not serve your better interest, ridding yourself of negative thoughts. All they do is make you miserable. Believe me, you can fret and fume all you want, but whoever it was that wronged you is not suffering from your anguish whatsoever.

When you say, "I can't", what you're really saying is, "I choose not to."

Forgiveness is not an occasional act: it is an attitude.
