Step Six: Moving Forward with a Forgiving Heart
Embracing the Freedom of Forgiveness
THE FINAL STEP IN FORGIVENESS IS MAKING THE CONSCIOUS DECISION TO MOVE FORWARD.
Forgiveness does not mean forgetting or allowing yourself to be hurt again; it means choosing peace over pain, love over resentment. It means reclaiming your power and refusing to let past wounds dictate your future.
By forgiving, we free ourselves. We choose to create a future that is not defined by past hurts but by clarity, joy, and resilience.
Forgiveness is a journey— a path of courage, self-discovery, and emotional freedom. It is not an overnight transformation but a gradual unfolding of peace. As we navigate each step, we move closer to a life unburdened by past pain and filled with hope for the future.
If you are on this journey, be patient with yourself. Forgiveness is not about anyone else; it is about your own well-being. And as you take each step forward, remember: you deserve to be free.
Make a statement of intention, such as I choose peace and I release my attachment to past hurt. Keep this as a reminder of your commitment to healing.
