Today I was observing a discussion by motivational speaker, Tony Robbins.  He was talking about harboring resentment in your life and how it can be toxic when you retain it.  The quote that I loved from him during this session was, "Resentment is like taking poison and expecting someone else to die".  That statement was so powerful as it illustrated so well how this feeling can over take you and cause you to feel worse.  While your bad feelings towards someone else may continue to fester, a lot of times those people don't even know nor do they care about your feelings of resentment.  Time can heal many wounds, however, one must be willing to get to the point that they want to heal, so that whatever the wound was and however deep, it all begins to close and fade away.  I don't think any of us have walked through life without feeling this negative emotion at one time or another.  This is another plus to growing older, in that the tolerance level for having negative emotions begins to diminish.  With life being as precious as it is, then the need to make the rest of your life less dissenting and filled with more positive emotions the better.  Take a stand if you have some of these emotions that are weighing you down and allow yourself to let go of that unwanted oppression.  Let resentment rest in your past and seek to make your future days filled with more happiness.  You will walk lighter and sleep better knowing that you carry less negative feelings and your outlook will brighten as well.
