I've mentioned before that I don't forget much. If you did me wrong fifteen years ago, I'll forgive you but I won't give you the opportunity to do me wrong again. However, I, also, won't hold it over your head forever either. The only person that suffers from holding a grudge is the one holding the grudge.

There are some people that just cannot let it go. Yeah, you poked me in the eye. Yeah, it hurt. No, I will not give you the opportunity to do it again. But, I won't continue to beat you over the head about it for the next century. It serves no purpose to continue to hold that grudge other than to give me an ulcer.

Today's word is a quote that says, "You can't start the next chapter of your life if you keep re-reading the last one."

Yes, you should remember when you are wronged, because no one deserves to be wronged, especially twice by the same person. However, if all you do is hold on to that and bring it up again and again and again, all you are doing is creating dissension and disharmony. In addition to that, you are giving yourself an ulcer and depriving everyone around you peace.

You will never move to the next phase of your life until you get tired of this one. You'll never read the next chapter until you stop re-reading this one. Turn the page.

Be Blessed,
Mickey T
