Forgiveness comes in time—its own time—if we’re striving to take care of ourselves. Don’t let other people use this principle against us. Don’t let other people badger us into forgiving. We can dole out forgiveness based on good decisions, high self-esteem, and mindfulness. If we’re taking care of us, we will understand whom to forgive and when it’s time to do that. While we’re at it, don’t forget to forgive ourselves.
