Forgiveness is incredible for every aspect of your life from physical to mental health, your career to your love life, interpersonal to inner peace. Remember, forgiveness is a gift you give to yourself. It DOES NOT require that you are willing to be disrespected. Rather, it's a deep introspection into yourself and a patience and empathy for others. You are saying… I know I've been wronged… but I am not a victim.
