Forgiveness can be incredibly difficult. Some of us have misconceptions about what forgiveness really means—and may deliberately avoid it. Others may want to forgive, but wonder whether or not they truly can. Forgiveness does not always come easy; but it is possible if you are willing to put in the effort.
Keys to forgiveness include:
-Forgiveness is about goodness, about extending mercy to those who’ve harmed us, even if they don’t “deserve” it
-Sometimes pride and power can weaken your efforts to forgive by making you feel entitled and inflated
You may be able to do this accounting on your own, or you may need the help of a therapist.
Recognizing that we all carry wounds in our hearts can help open the door to forgiveness.
To find meaning is not to diminish your pain or to say, I’ll just make the best of it or All things happen for a reason.
In self-forgiveness, you honor yourself as a person, even if you are imperfect.
When we overcome suffering, we gain a more mature understanding of what it means to be humble, courageous, and loving.
