How I did it: The biggest hindrance on the way towards my goal was, I associated forgiveness with loss instead of gain.
I learnt the hard way that when our grievance grows to hatred, we become slaves of the very persons we hate. We are bound to them with chains that leave us no peace.  

Forgiveness is a healing gift we give ourselves.Forgiveness has much more to do with us than with the person we are attempting to forgive.

First n foremost I stopped telling the story about how badly I was hurt n how horribly I was wronged...coz I did it often n tortured myself over n over again.
I started put my mental energies into positive things in life n tried to block out the hate...change didn't happen overnight...but finally I have been able to forgive...but not forget...I guess thats okay!

Lessons & tips: To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover that the prisoner was you...
Hating someone is drinking poison and expecting the other person to die from it!
