Global Forgiveness Day 2020: Why would anyone forget someone who wronged him or her in the past? Do you think sticking around for past maltreatment from anyone is worth it? No. Forgiveness is the key to wash away all the painful past and start a new journey. But if you want to forgive someone for any kind of misbehaviour and harm they did to you in fast, what could be a better day than Global Forgiveness Day.
Celebrated on July 7 every year, Global Forgiveness Day aims to spread awareness about the healing power of forgiveness and make the world a happy place to live in. Forgiveness is choosing to be free from past pain or hurt and permitting ourselves to experience happiness again.
In 1994 the organization, ‘The Christian Embassy of Christ’s Ambassadors’ hung a single banner proclaiming National Forgiveness Day in downtown Victoria, British Columbia. As the annual celebration progressed, overwhelming media attention required that National Forgiveness Day be renamed Global Forgiveness Day. This was done to spread the message across the globe.
On the occasion of Global Forgiveness Day, here are some powerful reasons to forgive others who have wronged you:
It will make you emotionally stronger
By forgiving someone, we are allowing all our pain, sorrows, negative energy to flush out from our life. This can make us feel mentally and emotionally lighter, which can be very freeing. The practice of forgiveness will enable us to grow mentally and emotionally stronger.
Letting go of staying the victim
Bad memories generally haunts everyone. The more be remember those moments, the more depressed we get. In short, we get attached to those bad memories which could be harmful to our mental health. To forgive and forget can help us get out of the victim mode.

Moving on in life plays a vital role to enhance an individual’s personality. Forgiving someone can be the start of the healing process, which will enable us to move on with our lives. Putting the past behind is essential to growing as a person.
