A man who studieth revenge keeps his own wounds green.
~~~~~~~~~~ Francis Bacon
Or as we've often heard, "Living well is the best revenge." Our time is limited and precious; we must spend it wisely. Are we spending it by thinking about how we've been wronged, by an event or another person? The more time we spend doing that, the less time we have left for our own growth. Do the math: today has 1440 minutes; how many of those are we willing to allocate to resentment and revenge, knowing that they reduce the number we have left to devote to the things and people we love?
It's easier said than done, but we can't put our happiness and well-being in the hands of someone else. More than some sort of revenge, we want a life worth living. We haven't time to waste. As Brad Paisley sings, "You only get so many summers."
Lift my resentment; replace it with the fullness of a healed life. It's time.
Blessings my friends.
