WHAT is forgiveness? Forgiveness is releasing an expectation that is causing you to suffer.
WHY forgive? So you can be healthy and at peace with people and life, no matter what’s happening. So you can hurt less, love more, and sleep well at night. You do it for you.
Forgiveness IS NOT: forgetting, excusing, giving up, being a doormat, talking to or working things out with the offender; it isn’t getting justice for the situation.
HOW do you forgive? There’s a step-by-step way to do it that always works to give you the relief of forgiveness
