From the book "Aleph"

here is a short passage from the book "Aleph" by Paulo Coelho:


"
i forgive the tears i was made to shed,
i forgive the pain and the disappointment,
i forgive the betrayals and the lies,
i forgive the slanders and intrigues,
i forgive the hatred and the persecution,
i forgive the blows that hurt me,
i forgive the wrecked dreams,
i forgive the stillborn hopes,
i forgive the hostility and jealousy,
i forgive the indifference and ill will,
i forgive the injustice carried out in the name of justice,
i forgive the anger and the cruelty,
i forgive the neglect and the contempt,
i forgive the world and all its evils.

i also forgive myself. May the misfortunes of the past no longer weigh on my heart. Instead of pain and resentment, i choose understanding and compassion. Instead of grief, i choose forgetting. Instead of vengeance, i choose victory.

I will be capable of loving,regardless of whether i am loved in return,
of giving, even when i have nothing,
of working happily, even in the midst of difficulties,
of holding out my hand, even when utterly alone and abandoned,
of drying my tears, even when i weep,
of believing, even when no one believes in me.
"

for those who feel demotivated sometimes and need kind words constantly.
For me, when i need reminding of.
