Holding on to an unpleasant thought is an unprofitable way to spend our time. Life is made miserable by dwelling on past mistakes and negative experiences.
Unhappy people are able to recite mistakes, slights, hurts, and all types of injustices they have experienced. Bitterness of any type deprives us of the opportunity to live effectively.
Let go of the past. Forgive those who seem to have hurt or wronged you. Forgive yourself, too, and remember that no one can hurt you without your consent.
Break down the walls of resistance between you and God’s blessings by letting go of the past. Make yourself ready for good by opening the door of your mind to an infilling of the beauty, joy, and love of God.
