I was listening to Cat Hoke on a Tim Ferris podcast yesterday.
She said if you haven’t been able to forgive, then you are living in the past. Let’s just let that sink in… I think it’s really important.
If our past does not equal our future… why would we want to live there and how would that serve us?
Forgiving ourselves is equally as important as forgiving others. If you can forgive yourself for the bad choices or mistakes you’ve made, and if you can forgive others for their choices maybe it frees you up to live in the moment and look forward to what comes next.
Cat Hoke says it’s easy to forgive… you just have to get really stubborn about it. When your brain starts down the rabbit hole of punishment… stop and stubbornly choose forgiveness instead.
