Tuesday (Positivi)Tea with Alyssa Lee π΅ #18: The Power of Forgiveness π Today’s video is inspired by Mr. Rogers ☺️ This weekend we saw the movie “A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood” and there was an over-arching topic that really spoke to me: Forgiveness. The movie demonstrated both the power of forgiveness and the consequences we can face if we hold on and don’t forgive.
In thinking about the topic, I realized that there are separate types of strengths that need to happen on each side (the person asking for forgiveness and the person that needs to forgive).
1 ) To ask for forgiveness takes a humility and a humbleness to be able to own the actions you may have done. It also takes an empathy to understand how your actions affected the other side.
2 ) To be able to forgive, requires an ability to set your own feelings aside to empathize with what the other side had done. Maybe he or she is going through something and they actually needed your love and support.
Both sides need to be able to listen to one another (which I feel like the movie really showed). And both need to see the value of releasing negative feelings towards each other.
We are all allowed to be human, we just need to also be kind to each other and forgive one another when we aren’t perfect π
I hope you liked this video! If you have anything you would like to add, I would love to hear it ☺️ I hope you have a good rest of your Tuesday and I’ll see you next week π΅✨
