Accept the apology you haven’t gotten

Most people will never apologize because they are too scared or too ashamed. The best way to get complete with people who have not come to do you with an apology is to assume that since they are human, there is a part of them that knows that they did was harmful. Yet, they don’t have the emotional intelligence or capacity to ask for forgiveness.

We can have empathy for this experience if we choose to, and choose to forgive. Forgiveness is never for the other person; it is so you don’t have to spend your energy resenting anyone. When you choose empathy and accept the apology you haven’t explicitly received, you get your life back.

Where is it time to stop waiting for someone to set you free so you can free yourself?
