Forgiveness is passive. This is what actually gives you power.

I can forgive all the people in my past, but that's passive. It's keeping everything in a distance, including yourself, because when you look at your past and maybe someone bullied you. You think about it and you think, Okay, I will forgive this person. It's not giving you strength. It's not giving you power. It can be a first step. I don't say, Okay, go to be grateful immediately.
