I want to be remembered for my kindness, for showing up, for giving second chances, for acknowledging my own toxic traits and for loving selflessly. If that isn’t it, then I failed horribly. Remember to extend grace because we’re all just walking each other home.

~Happy Soul

It’s important to ask ourselves what kind of person we want to be. The peace that comes with forgiveness is based on being true to oneself. Many of us want to be forgiving, but our pride and egos stand in the way. We’re afraid to admit our faults and we don’t want to be softies who get taken advantage of. But forgiveness isn’t about excusing or condoning bad behavior. It’s about justice and mercy; the creation of a fearless spirit and a kind heart.
