009. Find Peace Through Forgiveness Feb 03, 2021

Show notes

Think of the most recent time you forgave someone, or someone forgave you. Briefly reflect on how you felt after the forgiveness was given, by you or someone else.

When I was younger, I was taught to “forgive and forget.” When someone apologized to me, I’d respond with, “It’s okay,” or “It’s fine,” and was expected to move on. But there’s a lot more to forgiveness.
The goal with forgiveness is to find peace within yourself.
