One of the biggest reasons I wrote my latest book, The Icon Effect, is to pass on life lessons that have helped me in my life... and this is a big one. Rule #23: Forgiveness is for the forgiver. Heres an excerpt from my book that touches on this issue. “You see Vincent, when you forgive someone, you’re not acknowledging their actions as being acceptable. What you’re really doing is acknowledging that as hurtful as their actions or words may have been, you’re making a decision to move on with your life, freeing yourself from the shackles of resentment. The Icon continued, You see, resentment holds you back in life. When you hold on to resentment, it continues to occupy a space in your heart. But when you let it go, that space frees itself up to be filled with something positive... something wonderful. Once you make the decision to move on and achieve greatness in spite of what someone else said or did to you, you become free, and that freedom is what allows happiness to follow. And so when you forgive someone, ultimately, it isn’t for their benefit. It’s for your own benefit,” The Icon said. To learn more about my book, go to TheIconEffect
