You know what’s wild? I used to think forgiveness was about the other person, until it was brought to light we just wallow in own chemical soup of old hurts. We get hooked on emotional patterns and play them like a soap opera!

I was chatting with my guide about my greatest takeaway from the first time I did the Master Key Experience program. I was becoming the observer.

Now it wasn’t always effective enough an understanding to stop me from my bad habits, but it was present and I could grow out of some habits over the years. Even with that skill, I wasn’t giving 100% because I once was weirdly comfortable with reinforcing my own lack of self.

Sounds crazy, right? But setting up to fail and holding grudges was my safety blanket. It was like my cells were doing this addictive little dance, and I was the DJ playing the same tracks.

But here’s where it gets good – when I started focusing on what I wanted (not what I should want), something shifted. Forgiveness wasn’t about being noble anymore. It became about breaking free from my own emotional addiction. When I let go of old hurts, it gave room for my true self to peek out.
