Forgiveness

"Forgiveness is a powerful tool. When you forgive someone, you're not only freeing them, you're freeing yourself." - Tyler Perry.

Forgiveness is important for our health and wellbeing as it helps to release negative emotions and reduce stress, which can have a detrimental effect on our physical and mental health. It also allows us to move on from hurtful experiences and improve our relationships with others, leading to a more positive outlook on life.
