Honestly I surprised myself when this topic came to mind and it just wouldn’t leave me alone. For example, my son has created a journal that dialogues with you, and this morning, the text said
"The first to apologize is the bravest, the first to forgive is the strongest, and the first to forget is the happiest." So here we are.
And there’s this phrase I think we have all heard or read or maybe even sad and it’s this “forgiving is not for the other person it’s for you.“ And while I agree with that to some degree, let’s take a broader sweep at this issue. I believe we should be as outward focused as we can without losing ourselves or being taken advantage of.
Today I'll share my story of forgiveness, chat about benefits to ourselves and others, and provide a few practical tips.
