There is a - pill" with absolutely no side effects, would guarantee you peace, reduce stress, better health, close relationships and increased vitality called - forgiveness.
Dr. Jampolsky in his book "Smile For No Good Reason" points that there is a problem with being angry at somebody that you want them to take your pain to the grave: until you forgive you carry guilt through your life. You might like to believe that your anger and upset will vanish when somebody dies, but it is not true. It is with your own thoughts which you must work, and it is never too late to practice forgiveness.
For many of us, to forgive is really a tall order. However, many relationships are plagued by lack of shared feelings and one of that is one's ability to forgive. Countless people develop physical illness from having anger, loneliness, and guilt attack their bodies. So much suffering results from not talking honestly from the heart.
Be aware and think about the people in your life. If they were not here any longer, or if you were soon to depart, is there something you would have wished you had said or hoped they would have known? Tell them today. When you see today for all it holds, and all it doesnt have to, you start to live.
