Our minds operate on past memories, so lets get
some good memories into our minds!

If I add clean water to dirty water, long enough...
The vessel will soon only contain pure, clean
water!

We are told to forget the past and go
forward. If you forget the past...you could not
walk...you could not talk...you could
not read this writing.
The knowledge you now
have is the only thing you have to operate on.
Let's add to the knowledge...your thinking
will change little by little...success will
begin to come your way!

If I add pure
clean water to dirty water,  long enough...
The vessel will soon only contain pure,
clean water!

Questions...Answers
How do I forgive someone that has done me wrong?
What is the difference between forgetting and forgiveness?
If I still remember, have I forgiven?

Our problem in forgiving is being able to forget. When someone does you
wrong...no matter what direction you go as a human being..that memory
will always be there. If you bite my ear off, every time I look in the mirror I
will see it. There is no way I can forget what happened!

Forgiveness begins here: Don't take it personal when someone does you
wrong. We are in a imperfect world. The wrong that was done is a part of
that persons life. The fact is...what they did to you, they will do to
someone else and the next person, sometimes gets even! Remember that
we reap what we sow and people that harm others, one day, self-destruct!
Don't take it personal what was done to you.

Next: Build self confidence. Don't let what others have done to you
destroy your belief in yourself! Also, forgive yourself of the self inflicted
wounds that you did to yourself. Associate with people that believe in
you... Those that don't believe in you don't count in this area of your life.
Where do you put people that don't believe in you...on your prayer list!
Building self confidence
is your thing...its no place for others opinions!

Do you let people run in and out of your bedroom? Does your home
belong to the whole neighborhood?
There are certain areas of your
mental, emotional and spiritual life that does not belong to others.
There
are certain parts of your life that you make public and other parts that are
private. Even friends and family become intruders from time to time! Do
not feel obligated to everyone. You have a right to voice where you stand
on certain issues. Just be sure you live by the same rules that you lay
down for others!

Forgiveness is: There may be times when someone does owe another an
apology. I am talking about you doing your best to forgive. When you
show signs that you are
moving on regardless of others...that's
forgiveness. Forgiveness does not demand a heroic act. Just turn loose
and move on! Forgiveness will take care of itself. On your part...there is
no dealing with an angry person! People get angry with you because you
did not let them play their games on you.
When they humiliate themselves
because of what they tried on you (that failed)...
Move on without them...
You don't need the situation! Being able to remember has nothing to do
with forgiveness.
Casting your sins as far as the east is to the west is not
in your human ability.
Forgetting  and forgiveness is 2 different things.
Forgiveness is turning loose and going forward!

As long as your making an issue out of the wrong done to you...you have
not forgiven! You did not do the wrong thing...don't touch it! Leave it be!
When mud is thrown on you, don't rub it in. Let it dry, shake it off and
dust it off!
