Love, Forgiveness, and the Path to True Peace
By Tima Dajani - Psych-K Practitioner and Positive Mindset Coach
At some point in our lives, we all experience betrayal, heartbreak, or deep emotional wounds caused by others. It’s easy to hold onto that pain—because it hurts. Because it was wrong. Because we feel we can’t let it go until justice is served.
But here's the truth that many of us come to realize—sometimes slowly, sometimes all at once:
The path to peace isn’t paved with resentment. It’s paved with love and forgiveness.
Forgiveness: Not a Free Pass, But a Release
Let’s be clear: forgiving someone does not mean excusing or forgetting what they did. It doesn’t mean saying what they did was okay. It doesn't mean they get away with it.
Forgiveness simply means you’re done carrying it.
You’re done living under the weight of anger, the burden of pain, the chains of reliving the past over and over again. Because when you hold on to bitterness, the one who suffers most... is you.
You’re not setting them free—you’re setting yourself free.
Love as a Radical Act of Self-Healing
Choosing love, especially toward someone who hurt you, may feel impossible. But love, in this context, is not about staying connected or becoming vulnerable again. It’s about choosing not to become like the person who hurt you.
It’s about reclaiming your power.
When you choose love over bitterness, peace over pain, you take your life back. You begin to unravel the trauma, dissolve the grudges, and break free from the subconscious patterns that keep attracting more of the same.
The Universe Sees Everything
You don’t need to carry the weight of punishment.
You don’t need to wait for karma or revenge.
Because the Universe is always at work—quietly, precisely, powerfully.
Whatever someone has done, they will face their lessons. Maybe not in your time, maybe not in your sight—but trust that nothing goes unnoticed. That energy will come back to them. It always does.
Your job isn’t to seek justice. Your job is to seek freedom.
What Happens When You Let Go
When you forgive and choose love, amazing things begin to happen:
-
You stop replaying the pain in your mind.
-
You attract healthier, more conscious relationships.
-
You break ancestral cycles and emotional conditioning.
-
You sleep deeper. Smile more. Breathe easier.
-
You reclaim joy—not because everything is perfect, but because you are no longer held hostage by the past.
That’s what we’re all craving, deep down—not revenge, but release. Not power over others, but peace within ourselves.
How to Begin Forgiving
Forgiveness is not always a one-time decision. It’s a process. A sacred unraveling. Start with this:
-
Feel the pain.
Don’t bypass it. Acknowledge what happened and how it affected you. -
Speak the truth to yourself.
“What they did hurt me. But I deserve to heal. I choose peace over pain.” -
Let go of the need to control the outcome.
Trust that the Universe will handle what you don’t need to carry anymore. -
Send love—not to approve, but to release.
Even if you can’t send love to them directly, send love to yourself.
You deserve it more than anyone.
Final Thought
The world tells us to hold on, to get even, to stay guarded.
But your soul? Your soul is craving something softer.
Something freer. Something real.
And that “something” is peace—
The kind of peace that only comes when you choose love, forgiveness, and freedom over pain, resentment, and control.
So if you’re carrying something heavy today, ask yourself:
“What if I let it go? Not for them... but for me?”
That choice might just change your life.
