Forgiveness !!!

  It is said, that failures are stepping stones to success. It's an adage well followed over the years. What hasn't been said about in this whole scenario is the aspect of forgiveness. The world will forgive us, it has got no time to hold grudges against us. Life will forgive us, for time heals everything and everyone. What is difficult is the fact that "We don't forgive ourselves and more so when we know that it is true." But the very big difference between success and failure is this ability to forgive (not forget), learn and move on. We claim that we move on, and it is not a lie. But what actually happens is that we are moving around with the added luggage of guilt and the resultant negativity pervading it which more often than not, acts as a huge impediment to our daily moments and the success achieved in them, small or large.
  Life is a big responsibility and needs big investments in it. At such junctures we cannot really waste our time brooding over our mistakes committed, but rather learn from them and act wise. My own personal experience tells me that when I started forgiving rather than forgetting (you never can actually do that), you move ahead, you move to the top, because only at such junctures does your heart lighten up and you fly............. So fly, don't brood !!!
