One way you can trace your way back to real and true happiness and joy is through forgiveness.

About This Quote

This quote is attributed to King David, who was known as the “Sweet Singer of Israel.” As you might imagine, forgiveness is a very important part of life. The idea that one can find joy by forgiving others seems simple, but it actually carries an incredible amount of meaning. One of the great things about forgiveness is that it can give you peace of mind. It allows you to let go of the past and move on with your life.

Letting go of the past is not only good for your mental health, but also for your physical health. When you forgive other people, you are not holding onto old grudges and resentments. This means that the stress which so often leads to physical problems can be avoided.
