Nothing beautiful is created without struggle.
You want your heart to be beautiful, but you forget that diamonds are created by pressure, and pure gold is made through heat.
Forgiving doesn't mean allowing oppression or abuse to continue.
Forgiveness is to free yourself by letting go of past wrongs, while *at the same time* taking action to prevent it from happening again in the future.
Try not to take everything to heart; it will exhaust you, and waste your energy.
Stay focused. Be prepared for life's challenges, but don't wait for them. Rest when you can--emotionally and psychologically.
