The majority of people have been victims of injustice. It might be a friend, family member, or coworker. Try to forgive people in your life, holding on to anger only hurts you, not them. We often think of forgiveness as a weakness or a sign of weakness, but in reality, it is an act of strength and courage because it requires us to let go of our own ego and pride in order to be able to forgive someone who wronged us.

What’s forgiveness?

Forgiveness is the act of pardoning or excusing someone for an offense. Forgiveness can be granted by a person to themselves, or to others who have harmed them.

The act of forgiving is often used as a tool in psychotherapy to heal emotional wounds and allow someone to move on from a traumatic experience.

Forgiveness is giving up the hope that the past could have been any different, It’s accepting the past for what it was, and using this moment and this time to help yourself move forward .

- Oprah Winfrey

Why it’s important :

Forgiveness is one of the best tools you can have. It’s not just about letting go of the past, it’s about releasing yourself from resentment and bitterness.
