Resentment

Holding a resentful grudge is like drinking venom and waiting for the other person to grow ill.  It’s an exercise in futility.  And just as venom is to the human body, so is resentment to the human spirit. Even one tiny bit is bad for you.

Don’t increase life’s difficulties by filling your mind with resentment.  Instead, ease your burdens by choosing to let them go.  If you feel resentful feelings starting to take hold, stop and consider the fact that there’s nothing to be gained by bringing yourself down over what has already happened.

Let today be the day you stop letting the ghosts of yesterday haunt you.  Let today be the day you stop poisoning yourself with needless hatred.  Forget about getting even with someone who hurt you, and instead get even with those who have helped.

When someone has hurt you it’s hard to be peaceful.  But you do it anyway because you know peace is the only battle worth waging.  Peace is beautiful; it is the manifestation of your love and the best resolution for a brighter future.

Being peaceful is much harder than being angry and vengeful.  It requires you to stay calm and let go of the pain. It requires you to forgive and move on.  Of course, you don’t do these things just for the person who has hurt you, but for your own well-being both physically and spiritually.

Resentment WILL kill you, but only if you let it. Don't do it! Get over the hurt and live!
