Stay Happy: Don’t Hold onto
Grudges
By
holding onto grudges, we are holding onto the past and this holds us back and
stops us from growing and going onward with our lives. Grudges and not allowing
ourselves to let go of the past is negative and negativity holds us back and
stops us from achieving what we are capable of achieving out of life and
encourages resentment, unhappiness and fear instead of being happy in life and
finding peace within ourselves.
Forgiveness is the key to happiness, true forgiveness is when you can
release all your negative feelings towards another and let them go completely,
you have to let the grudge go not only through words of acceptance but also
feel it in your heart and soul.
Why is
forgiving so difficult to do?
It is our
negative ego that causes us to hold a grudge and tells us not to let it go,
like all things that block success and happiness in our life, negativity again
plays a huge part, only this time it affects our ego. By letting negativity
affect our lives this way we are opening up the door and welcoming bitterness
and deep resentment and these manifest deep within us and show themselves in
our health. Holding onto a grudge causes ulcers, stress and general overall
poor health so it is essential that we learn to let go of our resentment and
move on with life by letting go of our grudges. As with every other problem
relating to negativity in our lives it is all about how we think, forgiveness
is all about letting go of harmful train of thought patterns and developing new
ones.
Developing
the ability to let go
Developing
the ability to let go takes time, if you allow yourself to look at your
feelings honestly and calmly then you will realize that negative feelings
evaporate and you begin to feel peace of mind through letting go of deep
resentment. The key to truly forgiving is first being able to release your hurt
and anger that person has caused you, without letting go of these feelings;
true forgiveness is next to impossible.
If you try to forgive without releasing these feelings then the hurt and
anger you feel will only continue to build and will manifest as resentment
further down the road and resentment will eventually rear its ugly head, have
no doubt about that.
