Forgiveness: Letting Go of Resentment

Forgiveness is a conscious decision to let go of resentment or anger towards someone who has harmed you. It's about releasing the emotional burden that the hurt has placed on you.  

Key points about forgiveness:

• It's a process: Forgiveness is often gradual and can take time.  
• It doesn't mean forgetting: You can forgive someone without forgetting what happened.  
• It doesn't mean condoning: Forgiveness doesn't mean you agree with the harmful behavior.
• It's for you: Forgiveness is primarily a gift you give yourself to heal and move forward.  
• It doesn't mean reconciliation: You can forgive someone without restoring the relationship.

Forgiveness can be a powerful tool for emotional healing and personal growth. It allows you to focus on the present and future rather than being stuck in the past.
