#17B GRATITUDE & FORGIVENESS If my current state is less than desired, I try to focus on what’s right, feel grateful that I am alive, hopeful that my plight will improve, and become determined to make it so. When I'm feeling victimized, I try to make peace with what happened. When appropriate, I offer forgiveness, unload emotional baggage, and perhaps even make some good flow from evil. (Note: Bringing religion into this, those worshiping a loving New Testament God “turn the other cheek” and are lenient and forgiving.) |
