Life Coaching
By Dr. Mike Brooks
What does forgiving someone do for me? There are many benefits when we forgive someone that has hurt us. Once you let go of the anger and bitterness, healing starts to take place. You don’t dwell on the person or seek revenge. You free yourself of focusing on someone who has hurt you. Your emotional health will return and life will open up many opportunities of new friendships. There will be less stress and worries in your life. Once you let go and forgive the person who hurt you, then if you have been dealing with depression, you will start to see life differently and embrace new experiences. Remember, forgiveness is an act on your part. It’s making a change from being a victim to gaining your freedom and moving on. I know some people who are known for the way they handled their separation and divorce, who let their actions define who they were within their circle of friends and co-workers. Is that what you want? People will avoid you at all costs. Make a choice to forgive and move on.
