Beware The Grudge.

Those of you who have ever felt wronged, insulted, slighted or disappointed, please raise your hand now.

Having a tough time letting go?

If your view of that lovely image (see above) displayed on your computer screen is not currently being obstructed by an upraised palm, you are a very, ridiculously lucky individual. Or a liar. No offense.

We all deal with challenges, or, to be more accurate, challeng-ers. People who do or are things that seem to have a way of offending us. Our inevitable interaction with these people is impossible to change. On the other hand (speaking of upraised palms), how we choose to deal with them, most definitely is.

Holding a grudge is not the way to go. It’s time to just come out and say it. When we hold onto an offense, cling to a time we’ve been wronged, refuse to forget a misdeed, it ultimately ends up hurting us. When we’re stuck in the past, how can we look to the future?

Although it may seem a little cliché to tout forgiveness as a vital practice needing to be incorporated into every area of our lives, at the end of the day it really is. Learn to forgive, forget and move-on, and learn to progress in your life in a way you never before knew you could. Release the grudge, cleanse your mind of the terrifying image displayed above, and get ready to embrace success in your recently horror film/resentment cleansed life!
