THE ACT: Accept and forgive. THE PROCESS: Holding on to hatred and resentment—for ourselves or others—only poisons you. Hatred for the enemy that killed your teammate, an ex-spouse and her attorney, the drunk driver that took your sister, COVID-19, the IRS, cancer, everything. It keeps you forever trapped in the past, focusing on an element that you’re letting define who you are today. Learn to let go. To give up. Give in. When you do, you’ll feel the weight lifted and be able to channel the renewed energy into positive new pursuits.
