Password = Peace

The biggest challange is to forgive the one you loved. The reason is simple - you never expect that they will hurt you. But tragedy is the fact when someone you loved leaves you hurt. This year whoever asked me for an apology - was not granted it. I got so rigid in my decision of not forgiving but just forgetting. But if u do not forgive - you cannot forget. 11 Years or 8 years....is not an easy task to forget but somewhere you have to start to move on!

I posted this piece of amazing story on my FB. It might help me to forgive people I loved. It might take time but I changed my passwords for sure. Gradually, i will forget until next month comes..

Read and share!

How a Password Changed my Life ... A true story from the Reader’s Digest ...

I was having an average  morning until I sat down in front of my office computer .
"your password has expired”, a server message flashed on my screen, with instructions for changing it...
In my company we have to change passwords monthly..
I was deeply depressed after my recent divorce. Disbelief over what she had done to me was what I thought all day long ....

 I remembered a tip I’d heard from my former boss. He’d said, “I’m going to use a password that is going to change my life”.

I couldn’t focus on getting things done in my current mood.. My password reminded me that I shouldn’t let myself be a victim of my recent breakup and that I was strong enough to do something about it.

I made my password – Forgive@her. I had to type this password several times every day, each time my computer would lock. Each time I came back from lunch I wrote forgive her. 
The simple action changed the way I looked at my ex-wife.. That constant reminder of reconciliation led me to accept the way things happened and helped me deal with my depression.. 
By the time the server prompted me to change my password following month, I felt free.

The next time I had to change my password I thought about the next thing that I had to get done. My password became Quit@smoking4ever .
It motivated me to follow my goal and I was able to quit smoking.

One month later, my password became Save4trip@europe, and in three months I was able to visit Europe.

Reminders helped me materialize my goals and kept me motivated and excited. 
. it's sometimes difficult to come up with your next goal

keeping at it brings great results.

After a few months my password was -
lifeis#beauTful !!!

Life is going to change again 👌👌
