Forgiveness

Hi everybody, Mike and John here. I hope you’re having a great Saturday. As we head into the weekend, let’s ask ourselves: Is someone or something tagging along with us uninvited?

To truly transform and be free, we must forgive, especially ourselves. This is vital for anyone dealing with substance use or mental health struggles. When we hold on to anger or hurt, we create resentment. And resentment is poison. It eats away at us psychologically and physically.

Remember, we are the cause of our life, not the effect of it. We are responsible for what we think, say, feel, and do.

Now, some of you may be saying, “There’s no way I can forgive that person.” But forgiveness does not mean condoning their actions or repairing the relationship. It simply means recognizing what happened and choosing to protect your own emotional and spiritual health.

So ask yourself:

Is an uninvited guest still taking up space in my mind and heart?

Have I created room for gratitude?

Am I fully present?

Answer honestly. Choose forgiveness. Release the baggage.

I’d love to hear your thoughts. If this resonated with you, please like, share, and comment.

Take flight, my friends.

Mike and John
