Today’s Inspirational Quote:

“Holding onto anger and resentment is like scuba diving with an anchor. As long as you’re clinging to it, you’re bound to the seabed, limited in movement, unable to appreciate the coral reefs and the colorful fish that dart in and out of view. Forgiveness is letting go of the anchor. It isn’t about declaring what was done to you is okay, but about unburdening yourself so you can swim freely. Forgiveness is a gift you give yourself. It’s the gift of letting go of the anchors you’ve been carrying.”

~ James Clear
