To forgive does not mean to forget.
Patience is supported & nurtured by a quality of forgiveness.
You cannot control the results, only your actions.
Praise & esteem can feel good, which is fine, but don't look to them for inner peace & lasting happiness.
Don't believe everything you think. Thoughts are just that - thoughts.
Thoughts, words, emotions & deeds not coming from love are likely coming from fear.
