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.

Life is what happens when you’re wasting time holding a grudge against people who aren’t spending a single moment thinking of you. 

I was asked about an emotional hack for letting go... Here's the truth; They are NEVER going to be sorry enough... You want THEM to bleed from the cut they gave YOU. It doesn't work that way. When you realize this, you can finally save your emotional energy and free yourself from the burden of holding a grudge... You can move on.

Free yourself from the poisonous and laborious burden of holding a grudge. When you hold a grudge, you want someone else's sorrow to reflect your level of hurt, but the two rarely meet. Let go… Sometimes, forgiveness is simply a reflection of loving yourself enough to move on.

I used to hold grudges until I realized that most people are narcissistic and their actions are driven by an unhealthy self-interest and not maliciousness towards me.

Emotional self-defense... When you set healthier relationship standards in your life, some people will take it personally. That’s their issue, not yours. The distance isn’t against them; it’s for you. It’s a boundary, not a grudge.

Do you think peace of mind can be found in holding a grudge… or harboring resentment… or wallowing in thoughts of what could have been? Me neither.
