Nice to meet you too, @wild-forest!
I agree that #1 is crucial - without first releasing negativity through forgiveness, we can hardly fill ourselves with positivity through gratefulness or make big positive changes in our lives.
I love your analogy with computer viruses and the witty side effect warning. I see that we like some similar topics, your latest diamond thought from a bar is really nice, I've upvoted it and followed you too.
Thank you for the meaningful comment, I'm looking forward to more discussions. 😊
