You might think forgiveness is for the forgiven.
Relieving them of the burden of wronging you.
The burden they carry is up to them, though.
You're actually relieving your own burden.
Letting go of the emotional baggage you're carrying.
Forgiveness is for you.
We give so much attention to what to eat.
It’s fun to learn about how to train.
We understand the importance of rest and recovery.
These all improve our quality of life.
Yet, what about the rest of what makes life worth living?
What about our mental, emotional, and spiritual health?
What good is physical health without these?
So many of us carry grudges that are keeping us stuck.
Pain, anger, and resentment, keeping us from true health.
Making all the things we need to do to be healthy more challenging.
Even when we do those things, we’re not satisfied.
Life’s too short to carry these negative emotions.
What’s keeping you carrying yours?
Who do you need to forgive?
Whose forgiveness are you seeking?
Why not give yourself that forgiveness?
Why not put that burden down?
Why not let go of that weight?
You can do that right now.
You can take that step today.
If for nobody else, for yourself.
You are worthy of that relief.
You’ve got this.
