“To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover that the prisoner was you.” – Lewis B. Smedes

Forgiveness is essential for personal, familial and societal progress.

I published this article four years ago to the day on LinkedIn and it resonated with a lot of people.

Who were you ten (or even five) years ago?

This week I bumped into my former self of five years ago.

It was an odd encounter, but an enlightening one nonetheless.

It reminded me that the best person to measure yourself against is a previous iteration of yourself.
