“I’ve had a few arguments with people, but I never carry a grudge. You know why? While you’re carrying a grudge, they’re out dancing.”
(Buddy Hackett)

We’ve all been wronged. We’ve all been misled, or lied to, or downright cheated. In reaction to all this injustice, we’ve all held grudges, wallowed in our pain, and withheld forgiveness.

Meanwhile, the people who we think owe us so much…are most likely not thinking about us at all. They’ve moved on, and may even be enjoying great success.

Want a great way to start this Monday? To begin this week with a blank slate of opportunity?

Forgive ‘em.

Wish ‘em well.

Ask God or the universe to shower those people with blessings.

Why? Because holding our grudges, with clenched fists, disables our ability to grasp any blessings of our own.

Peace begins with pause,
