Forgiveness is a healing journey from "summary" of Dare to Forgive by Edward M. Hallowell
Forgiveness is not a one-time event; it is a process, a journey that can lead to healing. It is a path that requires patience, self-reflection, and compassion. When we forgive someone who has wronged us, we are not condoning their actions or saying that what they did was okay. Rather, we are choosing to let go of our anger, resentment, and desire for revenge. We are choosing to release the grip that the past has on us and to move forward with our lives. Forgiveness is a gift we give ourselves. When we hold onto anger and bitterness, we are the ones who suffer the most. It is like carrying around a heavy burden that weighs us down and keeps us from living fully in the present. When we forgive, we free ourselves from this burden and create space for healing to take place. We open ourselves up to the possibility of peace, joy, and connection with others. Forgiveness does not mean forgetting or pretending that the hurt never happened. It means acknowledging the pain, accepting it, and choosing to let it go. It is a way of releasing the power that the past holds over us and reclaiming our own sense of agency and freedom. It is a way of reclaiming our own power and taking back control of our lives. Forgiveness is a radical act of self-love and self-care. It is a way of honoring our own worth and dignity, regardless of what others may have done to us. It is a way of saying to ourselves that we deserve to be happy, whole, and at peace. It is a way of affirming our own humanity and our capacity for love and compassion. Forgiveness is not easy. It requires courage, vulnerability, and a willingness to face our own pain and wounds. It may take time and effort, and it may require the support of others. But the journey of forgiveness is worth it. It can lead to healing, transformation, and a deeper sense of connection with ourselves and with others. It can set us free from the past and open up new possibilities for the future. It can be a way of reclaiming our own power and taking back control of our lives.
