Posted on July 07, 2015 by Dr Alicia Holland , One of Thousands of Spirituality Coaches on Noomii.

Life doesn’t always shape the way we want to. There are going to be things that won’t work out and there will be speed breakers in the way. It is foolish to live your life by being chained to your memories in the past. If someone hoodwinked you or burnt your heart, you need to know how to forgive and forget as it is the only way by which you can look ahead to a beautiful tomorrow.

Let Go Of Things

The key to forgiving and forgetting is to learn how to let go of things. Those who hold too tightly to too many things are more likely to suffer a great deal. When you are blessed with the ability to let go of things that hurt you, it will let you enjoy the bliss of happiness.

What is the point of being chained to the memories that hurt us? If there is something that brings you pain, it is best advised to let it go. Life is a journey that is meant to be cherished and if you detest people or have repulsive memories inside your heart, it is not going to help you live a happy life.

Forget the Bad Memories and Embrace the Good Ones

We all have the power to let go of our past. Happiness comes to those who wish for a beautiful tomorrow. Life isn’t a bed of roses. If you had all the goodness and happy memories, you would not appreciate their worth. So, you will meet people who will disappoint, you will have your heart crushed on occasions more than once, but in the end, life is all about the decisions you choose to take.

It is up to you to cage your heart with sorrowful memories or you can simply let go of them and start afresh all over again. Nothing is promised forever and even if your heart has been burnt once, it will survive and heal.

When you forgive people and forget things that do not bring a smile, you will feel much better and life will be a beautiful journey for you. By choosing to live for your tomorrow, you can make the right choice and this is definitely going to make your own life worth living. Let go of the pain, forget your regrets. Forgive those who have hurt you and be ready to trust someone again because we all make mistakes and if you learn from it, it becomes experience.
