Video Transcript:

Everybody needs to forgive somebody, someone probably comes to mind for you. 

But sometimes, the person we most need to forgive is ourselves. 

There is no path forward without forgiveness. 

Refusing to forgive is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die, but it is a poison we have all taken.

Forgiving someone is one of the hardest things to do in life, and the more you love, someone and the more that person hurts you, the harder it is to forgive. 

Some days you feel like you're making great progress, and then there are days when you feel further away from being able to forgive than ever. 

What I find humbling is that it is my need to forgive not their need to be forgiven. 

The person I need to forgive could be long gone and no longer a part of my life. 

He or she may not have even thought of me in years. 

The need is mine, and I find it's healthy to remember that. 

There is no future without forgiveness, no future for individuals no future for relationships, no future for humanity.

So whoever you need to forgive, perhaps it's time to set yourself to the task. 

Especially if the person you need to forgive is you."
