Take a walk through the garden of forgiveness and pick a flower of forgiveness for everything you have ever done.

Stephen Richards
About This Quote

When we forgive, we take a step out of our own pain and guilt and into the lives of others. We begin to see them as their proper selves – as they were before we hurt them – and we feel compassion for what they have been through. This is a powerful step toward healing. The more often you are able to forgive, the more power it has to heal your soul. There are many things in life that can make us feel bad about ourselves, but the only thing that can truly bring us down is unforgiveness.
