Day 96 of 100: Are you holding on to Resentment?
"Resentment is like drinking poison and waiting for the other person to die."
"Hanging onto resentment is letting someone you despise live rent-free in your head."
If we stay angry at someone, we are carrying that negative energy around inside of us. If we stay resentful, we are hurting ourselves more than the other person. Sometimes, they don’t even KNOW that we’re upset with them, so who is it hurting more?
Forgiveness is the key. Forgiveness is about letting go of the negative energy and thoughts between you and another. It does NOT mean that you Approve of what they did, or didn’t do. It only means that you Accept that they did what they did… ’cause they did (sometimes referred to as ‘reality’ :c )
So let’s do what we can to RELEASE our anger and resentments today. This is in our control. LET GO. Forgive. Find Peace. Relax. Smile.
"Resentment is one burden that is incompatible with your success. Always be the first to forgive; and forgive yourself first always."
