Key Takeaways:

💡 Forgiveness isn’t about excusing bad behavior—it’s about freeing yourself from the chains of the past.

💡 You can’t change what happened, but you can change how it affects you right now.

💡 Forgiveness is a journey, not a destination. It’s a daily habit that rewires your mind and soul.
