Anything you do can be an immortal pursuit, if it is true to you.

The lack of forgiveness is crippling; it incapacitates and stops us from living.
Forgiveness is never about the other person, the person who injured us. Forgiveness is about ourselves and the debilitating effect of not forgiving.
To forgive is to let go of our hold on a past event we keep repeating.
To forgive and let go simply say, “I forgive and let go of this situation. I forgive and let go of this person and event.” Say this repeatedly until the event or person has passed from you. It may take one time; it may take many. It may happen in one day, or it may take a long time.
If forgiveness is to happen, you must begin it. Forgiveness begins with a desire to let go of the pain you hold within you.
Forgiveness is a natural human response that we all can do. Forgiveness begins with action—the action of the statement that you forgive. It may be hard to start the process of forgiveness, but once started it proceeds on its own with less effort and action required over time. Simply start to forgive.
As you forgive others, you are naturally forgiven in yourself.

Though you may hate, despise and fear: Love your way through it. Pick the most irritating person or situation in your life… and love. With determination, love right through it.
Your capacity to love will grow by leaps and bounds as you become determined to love and actually do it, loving your way through difficult people and troubling situations.
Remember to first love the person who is most difficult to love—you.

How simple can it be?
When we are in pain, perhaps we are doing something wrong?
If we touch a hot flame, we become hurt and in pain. If we eat the wrong thing, not fit for human consumption—we feel pain, sickness and possibly die.
If life itself has become painful, maybe we need a new way to live?
How simple can it be?
If we experience pain, suffering and death; perhaps we are not living right? Perhaps we need to try another approach? What could it be?
