50 Insights in 50 Years - Forgiveness is the key to happiness

Insight Number 19

Forgiveness is the key to happiness – When I figured out that forgiveness doesn’t have anything to do with the other person but is all about me I was freed. I thought that if I forgave someone for doing something hurtful to me I was letting them off the hook. What I realized was that as long as I didn’t forgive them I was the one on the hook. Forgiving is a gift you give yourself.
