Chapters

The situation occurred. There's nothing I can do about the situation. It was horrible, and the impact is horrible and will always be horrible. But I want to live. If I wanted to have more happiness in my life, then forgiveness was going to have to be one of the tools. And so you don't have to forgive, but if you've decided that you want to have a happier life, is sure a big tool to get there. To anyone interested in hearing what I have to whisper is don't wait to be happy to be happy. Right? So what I mean by that is it's not gonna come to you in a neat package. It's not gonna be because you got a promotion. You already have the tools inside you at this very moment to construct your happiness. Instead of seeing your life happen, become an active participant in your life.
