Rule #22 11/5/15

Drop the resentment within.

~Most of the time we tend to hold onto anger because we truly believe it would make the person we're mad at upset and realize that they have done something wrong, when in reality we are burning ourselves up on the inside. We take this resentment out in so many different ways instead of actually expressing ourselves directly and communicating exactly what is going on. 

Regardless what some one does to you -- hurt you, look down on you, doubt you, underestimate you, back stab you, abuse you, or maybe even cheat on you -- when you hold onto the hatred, you are also holding on to the hurt, the pain and the memory. This kind of torment and replaying of events only serves to make us ill and fall less of the person we know in our hearts that we are.

Only when you learn to let go, you let your soul free from all the ties involved. No matter what it is that caused them to do certain things to you, the best thing you can do is to let go, and this in no ways makes what was done right, but it does act as a spiritual pardon and this cuts all energetic ties and allows for you to move forward with new strength and new outlook. 

Think of it this way;the fire of anger is only within you. The person you hate doesn't feel your hatred. So Let it go. Let it go. ~Will "Story" Rivera
