Success Freaks #107 – Forgive Yourself And The Rest Will Follow

by

What does it mean to forgive?  According to Merriam-Webster it means to give up resentment for and to grant relief from payment of a noun (person, place, or thing) that is pissing you off (this is the paraphrased version of course).  These are all things that we need to do in order to level up our lives.  We all have moments when we think holding a grudge will make us feel better.  In fact, it is usually a major thing holding us back.  Whether it’s McFall being angry with his internet provider or Mordant holding on to the person he once was, we all have at least one thing in our lives we need to forgive and let go.

The title of Success Freaks show #107 is “Forgive Yourself and the Rest will Follow.”  Join our forgiving hosts as they relive those moments in which they realized that the best thing to do was to turn around and walk away.  Say “I Can” by letting go of what holds you back and hear what it took for Mordant & McFall forgive, to let it go, and move on.
