I practice forgiving others when they had a history of hurting me. In return I have been forgiven for waht I may have done to hurt others.

This is so true. If we can just forgive ourselves for the mistakes we make, we might not drag ourselves down guilt and, instead, be able to move ahead even faster.

This is true!!! You need to also forgive yourself for all the mistakes you make in life as well..since these can drag you down and off your plan just as much as slip ups with food and exercise

I think that forgiveness is the key to happiness and that is the key to being a positive person in general. It all starts with forgiveness. The ability to forgive ourselves when we make mistakes, the ability to forgive others for things they do that hurt us, and knowing that god forgives us helps me control my own happiness making everyday positive for me.
