Let today be the day you stop being haunted by the ghost of yesterday. Holding a grudge & harboring anger/resentment is poison to the soul. Get even with people...but not those who have hurt us, forget them, instead get even with those who have helped us.

About This Quote

As humans, we are very prone to blame others for our unhappiness. Once someone has hurt us, it is easy for us to want revenge. However, forgiveness is not just about getting even with those who have hurt us. It’s also about forgiving the people who have helped us.

We are all responsible for our own behavior—we are not the victims of circumstance. When you forgive someone, you remove the power that they have over your life. When you hold a grudge, you are allowing them to control your life.
