Rule #12: Remember to Forget!

This one is a doozy!

It's a lot easier to say you forgive someone than it is to forget what they have done to you.

Anyone who has ever had an argument with their spouse, girlfriend, boyfriend or anyone else for that matter, knows this is truth. Because inevitably every thing you have ever done wrong will come to light in an heated argument. Don't you wish that they would just forget about it and move on? :)

If we are ever going to make it through whatever has caused the burn, we have got to Remember to Forget it.

You may not ever really truly forget what happened, but you can choose how you remember.

Try this little experiment; when faced with the opportunity to remember what happened, choose instead to focus on a positive experience or good thing that happened. Choose to talk about that instead of the negative. It works for me.
