Key Points 

1. You don’t have to be in a physical prison to be imprisoned and held back from the life you want. Addiction, fear, doubt, bitterness, and trauma are all things that can get in the way of our lives. The more work we can do on ourselves to deal with these things, the closer we get to our purpose. 
2. The negative feelings we harbor towards the people who wronged us hold us hostage. The action or process of forgiving is a conscious, deliberate decision to release resentment and vengeance, regardless of whether the person deserves it or not. There’s a burden to holding onto hurt and disappointment, and we leap forward when we let them go. 
3. Understand and trust the process - you have to go through a lot of hard stuff to become the person you want to be. Character only happens when we go through the process of preparation. That preparation comes in the form of obstacles, roadblocks, detours, storms and many unknowns. They are necessary because they prepare you for who you need to become to fulfill your purpose.
