There is no revenge so complete as forgiveness.

GRATITUDE
Holding a grudge keeps the person who hurt you at the middle of your days. You rehearse the injury, and each rehearsal costs you something while costing them nothing. Letting it go is not a favour to them; it is the moment their hold on your attention ends. What looks like surrender turns out to be the only way you actually get free.
Notice where a resentment is still taking up room this week. You do not have to reconcile or forget. Try releasing your claim on being owed an apology, and see what that frees you to think about instead.
Who are you still keeping a score against?
Free, with nothing to buy inside it.
