One fact we often get wrong: We think forgiveness means doing good to the person who offended us.
Truth: In forgiving your offender, you set YOURSELF free. You free your emotional and psychological burden of the unforgiven mindset.
After all, your offender won't share the hurt with you. The hurt stays with YOU — tormenting you emotionally, psychologically, and even affecting your health.
Forgiveness is heavily beneficial to the hurt, not the offender.
Reflection Questions: Who hurt you that you find difficult to let go? Think your brain health. Think your general well-being. Forgiveness does more good to YOU than to your offender. PAUSE. REFLECT. BUILD. GROW. #Forgiveness #SEL #REBT
