You practice forgiveness for two reasons: to let others know that you no longer wish to be in a state of hostility with them and to free yourself from the self-defeating energy of resentment. Send love in some form to those you feel have wronged you and notice how much better you feel.
Interpretation
Forgiveness benefits both the giver and the receiver, promoting peace and personal freedom.
This quote emphasizes the dual purpose of forgiveness: it communicates to others that you choose to let go of hostility, and it liberates yourself from the burdensome feelings of resentment. By sending love to those who have wronged you, you transform your own emotional state, finding relief and healing in the process.

Doing what you love is the cornerstone of having abundance in your life.
