Forgiveness is a beautiful thing, isn't it? It's amazing how much freedom it brings. As a leader, it's easy to get caught up in the idea that forgiveness is a sign of weakness, but nothing could be further from the truth. Forgiveness is about letting go of the hurt and anger that comes with holding a grudge. It's about freeing yourself from the emotional burden that can hold you back from being the best version of yourself.

"Forgiveness: Not a Feeling but a choice"

Give yourself the gift of forgiveness not only to yourself but to others. Choose to be the victor, not the victim. The victim mentality will hold you back from thriving and authenticity.
