Student Success Statement By Alan Paton 

"When a deep injury is done to us, we never recover until we forgive."  

 

It might have been a broken promise or a heartbreak that hurt you so much that you still remember how it hurt to this day.  The only way we can recover from that situation and move on with our live is to forgive the person. Forgive them even if it hurts you more than the actual injury because it is one step towards to your freedom. Once you learn to forgive people you feel lighter because you took a burden off your back.  If you were in a relationship that you thought was going to last forever and your partner ends up breaking every promise saying he'll never give up on you, then learn how to move on from that. Maybe it wasn't meant to be and greater things are arriving your way.  Think of it as one building block that you had to leave behind in order to get to the other block that heads to the top of the tower. You should also think as it wasn't that big of a deal so if you forgive him it wouldn't mean as much as you thought it would.
