The Key Role of Forgiveness: Peace With Your Life by Dr. Fred Luskin

"Forgiveness can be really difficult. What's in it for you?
Dr. Fred Luskin, Director of the Stanford Forgiveness Projects, is a forgiveness teacher whose overarching message was to make peace with your life. “Happiness is wanting what you have and stress is wanting anything else.” If you are arguing with your life and dragging stuff with you without letting go, it will never lead to happiness. Being a victim or identifying with parts of your life that did not work out creates unhappiness.
In essence, forgiveness is giving up all hope for a better past. Many of us share the experience of being wounded by past romantic partners, and yet, we have agency. We can adjust our expectations so that we do not expect all relationships to work out. We can trust ourselves, and in particular, our hearts’ ability to recover. Forgiveness is a way to give your own heart back to yourself.
Heal, Forgive, and Thrive! 🌟 Holding onto past wounds can block us from experiencing the beauty and goodness around us. But we have the power to change that. Through gratitude and forgiveness, we can transform our mindset, embrace kindness, and unlock true happiness.

“Happiness comes in giving up all hope for a better past. The biggest instance of this is people labeling their ‘crappy romantic partners.’That’s number 1 and there’s barely anything number 2. We blame the partner for taking away our trust, our innocence, our ability to love. We never examine those assumptions. To heal it’s not that you trust them, it’s that you trust you. You trust your hearts ability to recover, nobody can take that. You’re giving your own heart back to you.” - Dr. Luskin
