Hey there, and welcome to Wake Me Up.

I'm your host Tyler as always.

Today we're building on this week's theme of forgiveness.

Forgiveness has so many sides to it, and it isn't always easy.

In fact, it can be one of the hardest things that we ever do.

For that same reason, it can also be one of the most freeing things that you can choose

Forgiveness can change your entire life, allowing you to escape the past and create peace and the present.

And as you exhale, just allow your body to relax.

And while you're here, think of one thing that you might like to be forgiven for.

Maybe you made a mistake or hurt somebody.

That makes us human. If you can understand that about yourself, then you can understand that about other people too.

And if we just allow a little space to let that happen,

I bet we'd all be a lot happier. Now that we've had a little pause,
