Daily Inspiration - Let go to move forward

Let go to move forward.

When you hold on to resentment you cause yourself stress. You also take your focus away from your goals. Your grudges can distract you without even solving a past wrong.

You may be holding a grudge against a person who is not even aware that you are hurt. You could be wasting valuable energy and mental power on an issue that has no bearing on your future. It's time to seek understanding, forgive, and move on.

Action for the day: In your journal, write about any lingering resentments. Resolve to do what is necessary for you to forgive and move on. Seek help if you need it.
