Forgiveness is not a last resort, it's the first stop. Forgiveness can feel difficult and overwhelming--in some cases it feels like it's not an option. But, forgiveness is how you heal; mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually. Many pair forgiveness with religion, but you don't need religion to practice forgiveness. Pragmatic forgiveness is about pardoning, excusing, and letting go of people, things and experiences that no longer serve you or are holding you back, down, and in place; restricting your freedom and disrupting your peace. Freedom requires you to lovingly dismiss the detrimental, the toxic, and the old negative past. You have to give yourself the opportunity to release obligation, fear, anger, hurt, and pain; untethering yourself so you can experience peace instead. Wouldn't you like to jump to the end of the game and be the winner every time? You can, by practicing forgiveness. There is the concept of forgiveness, and then there is the actual application of it. This book offers the opportunity to truly understand forgiveness and actually implement it so you can better navigate and be in control of your life. Here is a nonreligious approach to utilizing forgiveness. Here is your guide to understanding forgiveness, knowing how and when to implement it, and creating your life your way.
