Practice forgiveness from "summary" of Across That Bridge by John Lewis

Forgiveness is a powerful tool that can help us move forward and heal from past hurts. It is not always easy to forgive, especially when the wounds are deep and the pain is still fresh. But holding onto anger and resentment only serves to keep us trapped in the past, preventing us from living fully in the present. When we practice forgiveness, we are not excusing the wrongs that have been done to us. Instead, we are choosing to let go of the negative emotions that are weighing us down. By forgiving those who have hurt us, we are releasing ourselves from the burden of carrying around that anger and bitterness. Forgiveness is not a sign of weakness, but rather a sign of strength. It takes courage to confront our pain and choose to forgive, to let go of the desire for revenge and instead focus on healing and moving forward. It is a way of taking back control of our own lives, refusing to let the actions of others dictate our emotions and actions. Forgiveness is a process, not a one-time event. It may take time to fully forgive someone, especially if the hurt is deep. It requires patience, self-reflection, and a willingness to let go of the past in order to embrace the future. But with each step we take towards forgiveness, we are freeing ourselves from the chains of resentment and opening ourselves up to peace and healing. By practicing forgiveness, we are not only benefiting ourselves but also those around us. When we let go of anger and bitterness, we create space for love and compassion to enter our hearts. We can build stronger relationships, both with others and with ourselves, as we learn to forgive and move forward with grace and humility. Forgiveness is a choice that we must make for ourselves, a decision to release the pain of the past and embrace the possibilities of the future. It is a gift that we give to ourselves, a way of reclaiming our own power and finding peace in our hearts. So let us choose forgiveness, not because it is easy, but because it is necessary for our own healing and growth. Let us practice forgiveness, not just for others, but for ourselves.
