I’m sitting here with my jones drink (friggen best drinks of
life!) and I can’t help it… I just needed to blog…
“Holding a grudge is
letting someone live rent-free in your head”
Sometimes letting go is very
hard. But if I have learned anything in my young and fragile (lol) years of
life it is that no peace can ever be attained from grudges. Now I don’t think
that grudges includes (let’s call them notes) you take about someone’s
character though. Let’s say someone you knew hurt you really badly… (like tears
from your heart and soul pain…like stepping on a piece of leggo five times in
the same spot pain) which also indicated what kind of person they are. Now
people’s reactions to these kinds of situations vary greatly. Some people hold
grudges against the person for the rest of their life, others forgive and
forget, and then there are some who forgive, let go but never forget. It remains arguable however, if one can every
fully forgive while not forget something. However, I think this is quite
possible. You take note of characteristics this person has that have hurt you
in the past, but you forgive their mistakes and let go of what happened… in my
eyes, that is the best way to a peaceful existence.
When a person is hurt the most
natural thing is anger, frustration and sadness. It seems, however, many people
let the anger aspect take over their existence. I was scrolling around on the
internet once and came across this amazing quote that said something along the
lines of
“It is so much harder to hate
someone when you know why they did what they did.”
This quote just stuck to me like glue. If you can even
understand in the slightest why a person might have done something, even if it’s
something as petty as social pressures (which we all go through) you cannot
hate them and you need to let go of your anger. It’s far too easy to sit in the
corner and pout about how much you hate someone. So much harder is standing up
straight and saying you love them regardless (and by love I don’t mean like…
ohmagawd we be best frands now yeo. I mean love them as another human being
kind of love. Also, I mean this as an internal process… don’t go telling them
that you love them… you’re going to look really creepy). Okay so I mean moral
of the story: ishh okay! Everyone makes
mistakes and holding grudges are not beneficial to anyone… especially your sense
of inner peace. Learn to let go and move on.
On that note some more amazing words of wisdom… (I can read quotes like this all day)
“Peace is to be found
only within, and unless one finds it there he will never find it at all. Peace
lies not in the external world. It lies within one’s own soul” –Ralph W.
Trine
“If you have inner
peace, nobody can force you to be a slave to the outer reality.” –Sri
Chinmoy
“Nothing is worth losing your inner peace. Take action as circumstance
require, but never surrender your inner peace. Stop. Breathe deeply. Close your
eyes and breathe deeply again. Then, and only then, take action—from a peaceful
heart.”—Jonathan Lockwood Huie
Now inner peace… well that’s something that fills me up with
hearts&sheit all the good stuff. Till next time friends…

Hearts&Sheit…&peace.
