grudges

One of the most devastating symptoms of pride is the unwillingness to forgive.

A mind that opens its door to fears, doubts, grudges, jealousy and anger, compromises its peace in return.

The worst grudge is being told that you are forgiven, yet your sins are still glowing in their hearts like a burning coal.

The past does not define me, it ignites me. The past is not a piece of me, it has placed me

Grudges are for those who insist that they are owed something; forgiveness, however, is for those who are substantial enough to move on.

Corrival looked around. 'So is this it? Is everyone here? Erskine, maybe you should start the ball rolling. I have places to go and things to do.''Me?' Ravel asked. 'Why do I have to start it? You're the most respected mage here. You start it, or Skulduggery.'Skulduggery shook his head. 'I can't start it. I don't like most of these people. I might start shooting.

People love it when you criticise some things which they do not believe in, practices which are contrary to what they practice or contrary views. They call you objective and truthfulBut immediately you start disagreeing with their views, criticising their beliefs, expressing contrary views against what they support, they call you foul names, say you are not a child of God, ask who you are to judge.Listen and listen good, I love writing and I write based on inspiration and experience.I don't just write, I write to capture the minds of my readers and to spark reaction. I welcome contrary views, I love you opposing my stance cos in the process I learn some things from you.Don't get mad at me for expressing myself via writing. I love putting things down. Learn to tolerate my views and counter me when you don't agree.Stop holding grudges and developing unnecessary hatred. Life is too short to be closed minded and inclined. Life is too short for me to idolize anybody.I can't always be dancing to your tunes, you also have to dance to mine.

There are things a person does without any reason, without any second thought, maybe they do not hold grudges for long, maybe they just forgive, and there is something strange about that type of person. I admire them.

At the heart of all anger, all grudges, and all resentment, you'll always find a fear that hopes to stay anonymous.

See, those who wield the primordial forces of creation have a long-running grudge with physics.

I hold a strict policy of automatic grudges against people everyone likes.

I think deeply about things and want others to do likewise. I work for ideas and learn from people. I don__ like excluding people. I__ a perfectionist, but I won__ let that get in the way of publication. Except for education and entertainment, I__ not going to waste my time on things that won__ have an impact. I try to be friends with everyone, but I hate it when you don__ take me seriously. I don__ hold grudges, it__ not productive, but I learn from my experience. I want to make the world a better place.

Sometimes, you can hold a grudge for so long you forget why you were holding onto it. And before you know it, half a lifetime has gone by and all you__e got is a empty fist and a lot of regret.

In my experience when a friend unloaded about a boyfriend or spouse, the listener soaked up the complaint and remembered it long after the speaker had forgiven the offense.

If you withhold love as a form of punishment, who is being punished?

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.

When you hold a grudge, you want someone else__ sorrow to reflect your level of hurt but the two rarely meet.

One of the reasons the team on NCIS works so well-is that they live by their leader's rules-which are not a secret .What are your rules/standards? Do the people in your life know what they are? Do you hold grudges/resentments when they don't measure up? Do you pretend that everything is fine-when it's not-and close up a little every day?And most importantly-When was the last time YOU reviewed/upgraded your standards/expectations rules-and took a look at the impact around you/checked in?(Hint-most people live from rules/standards/expectations created from reactions/perceptions formed around the age of six)Might be time for a review/upgrade........
