"Holding on to anger, resentment and hurt only gives you tense muscles, a headache and a sore jaw from clenching your teeth. Forgiveness gives you back the laughter and the lightness in your life."- Joan Lunden.
Stay angry a little and hold on to forgiveness faster than you can say "jack" and you will experience an influx of joy and brightness as the laughter will come rushing in like a waterfall unhinged.
I Feel Blessed!
Holding on to anger and resentment requires some really humongous amount of work. The clenching, the frowning, the tenseness of the muscles etc doesn't come cheap or easy, it comes from a continuous use of the mind in a wrong way.
We will always be hurt and treated badly, but it will be a good thing if we are able to channel our inner energy to achieving some joy instead of staying glued to the hurt or pain. I am guilty of feeling really tensed up when I feel I am hurt, but I am able to maintain a clear head because, I don't wanna end up with painful muscles and sore jaw.
Life is a combination of the hurts, the pains, the sorrows, the little trickles of joy and happiness and a minimal amount of love (as there are more haters than lovers), but it is also up to you the individual to, make it seem different with more love, joy and happiness and a minimal amount of the negatives to help you ride the storms.
What are you doing today? Help someone find their place in happiness and drive out the hurt that is mostly perceived as the norm.
