Write that guy a letter.

Write 28-year-old you a letter.

And let that guy off the hook.

You're holding him accountable.

You're beating that guy up.

What'd you miss?

What did we miss?

What do we let him, let him off the hook, man.

That guy did the best he could with the information and the skillset and the tools that he had.

And somebody chose to hurt that guy real, real bad.

Forgiveness is for you.

Forgiveness is, think of it as this, in this exercise, it's a cinder block that you're carrying around.

Forgiveness is you choosing to say, I am no longer going to carry what you did to me anymore.

I've even encouraged people to do that in real life for a while.

Go buy a cinder block and put a piece of duct tape on it and put wife cheated on me.

Wife slept with another guy while she was married to me.

And then literally carry that brick around for 20 minutes, 30 minutes until your arms burn and your hands can't hold it anymore.

And then go somewhere in your backyard or out in a park somewhere and literally say, I'm setting you down.

And then like, here's the reality.

You can't stop the lightning bolt moments.
