Albert Einstein said: "our life on this planet is only a short visit . . . even shorter when it is wasted away on meaningless undertakings". The trespasses that remain unforgiven in our hearts soon become our ailments. Every unresolved grudge we carry creates a certain toxicity that unnecessarily wears out our bodies. We poison ourselves with bitter envy by refusing to celebrate with others in their victory. Our refusal to forgive an offender and our arrogance to ask forgiveness for our own offenses drain us of valuable emotional and spiritual energies.
It takes conscious and honest effort proving into ourselves to know what's making our life difficult. And it takes humility to accept and to own what we'll find.
Be aware. life is short but we can make it full. Life becomes beautiful when we acknowledge our self-created failings and begin to make up for them - NOW.
