Anchors Aweigh!!
We often hold ourselves back by holding on to elements of the past. One way to let go of that anchor is to reframe our thinking to recognize that what we went through may not have been what we wanted , but was, what we needed (not to be confused with deserved) to get where we are meant and need to go.
We all have people in our past or present that have hurt us (intentionally or not). This reframing allows us to forgive, although not necessarily forget (we’ll save that for another time). Anchors Aweigh!!
“When you forgive, you in no way change the past — but you sure do change the future”, – Bernard Meltzer
“Forgiveness is the key to action and freedom”. – Hannah Arendt
