Forgiveness is the ultimate form is self care… That co-worker, former collegue, friend, family member you are mad at, you are carrying that anger, not them. Forgiveness is for YOU not for THEM. There is no winning or losing in relationships. Take a step back, think about who you are upset with at this very moment and ask yourself if you can let go and move forward with that person. You don’t always need to actually speak to that person to forgive them, it comes from within. Sometimes, you do need to speak to the person to formally forgive and move on. It totally depends on the circumstance of the relationship. If you can find a way to let go of that upset and forgive who you are upset with, YOU are the ultimate beneficiary of that forgiveness.
What a timely message, Ethen Ostroff ⚖️! I’ve been struggling with this in this season of life. Something very wrong and unexpected happened earlier this year and I’m struggling with anger towards the person in this situation and last night as I was trying to fall asleep, I kept telling myself to forgive this individual because that will help me even if they are never held accountable for their actions. Thank you for your words.
Self care is vital...
Good insight! Thanks for sharing!
