Forgiveness and Healing are one in one. You know you have forgiven yourself when you are able to speak of your experiences aloud and to others without residual effects. Another great measure of success in forgiveness is the ability to share your experience with others and discover that you have helped them heal in some small way. When you forgive you: you heal a part of yourself that has been hurting. When you share with others, they learn how to do the same thing. You may help someone else with what they're going through simply by being able to say, 'I've been there' and 'I know how you feel.'
Honestly, when you hear someone say that, you really think they don't know how you feel, but when you come to understand their road to forgiveness and you see the benefits of their healing, you may find yourself able to really embrace and open up with that person.
Sharing life challenges with someone you trust can lead to a peaceful heart instead of an angry or hurtful heart. It can also lead you to finally understand why you are the way you are. For some, they have tried life one way and it did not work out so well. It short, it flopped.
But then there is the flip side, where you figure it is time to try life a different way with a fresh perspective and a new gratitude attitude and while you may not be completely happy with the things in life that lead you to this moment, you discover that you have more peace as a result of it.
Forgiveness leads to healing and healing leads to a road to achieving happiness; happiness with all that you have learned along the way. Of course you may say, that's not possible. There's really no such thing as "true happiness" or some might say, "how do you blend the two or is there even such a thing..." I answer you this: understand that regardless of the trials and tribulations in your life, if you are still alive and well then your journey in life continues. There is still much more for you to do to fulfill your purpose. Those ups and downs along your path shaped you and made you who are and who you will become. So - Keep Going!
How do you apply the present to the past? You don't. You learn from the past and apply it to the present. And by doing this, you secure yourself a healthier, happier place in your future.

THAT IS TRUE BUT WHEN YOU HAVE SOMEONE IN YOUR LIFE THAT CAN NOT OR DOES NOT UNDER STAND WHAT YOU ARE SAYING ONLY CAUSE THEY FELL THAT THEY DON'T NEED TO IT MAKES IT HARED. I BELIEVE THAT IF THERE IS NO BELIEF OR TRUST IN A RELATIONSHIP YOU HAVE NOTHING,IT TAKES TO TO MAKE IT WORK NOT ONE,IN ORDER FOR YOU TO FORGIVE THAT ONE THAT DID YOU WRONG YOU MUST FELL THAT THE APOLOGY THAT THEY GIVE IS REAL AND THAT YOU FELL IT IS REAL OTHER WISE YOU WILL ALWAYS FELL THAT THEY DID NOT MEAN IT. YOU CAN NOT TELL SOMEONE YOU ARE SORRY AND SAY IT HALF ASS AND THEN TELL THEM IT IS WHAT IT IS GET OVER IT THAT IS OR WAS THE PASS BUT YET THEY WANT YOU TO TELL THEM EVERY THING THAT YOU DID WRONG THEN WHEN IT CAME TO THEM THEY DON'T WANT TO TALK OR SAY ANY THING TO YOU ABOUT WHAT THEY DID,I FILL THAT IS WRONG AND NOT FARE AND HOW DO YOU MOVE FORWARD IF YOU ARE LEFT THERE WITH UNANSWERED QUESTION'S AND NOT KNOWING WHAT TO THINK BUT THAT THEY ARE NOT TRYING TO MOVE FOR WORD OR EVEN HELP YOU TO MOVE FOR WORD.
