Daily Inspiration
Alive
I always tell myself that nothing ever is worth holding onto if it hurt you, because the longer you hold onto anger and resentment, the longer you feed it and keep it alive.
~Katie Piper
Resentment
Resentment is a great rationalizer: it presents us with selected versions of our own past, so that we do not recognize our own mistakes and avoid the necessity to make painful choices.
~Theodore Dalrymple
Disappear
Anger will never disappear so long as thoughts of resentment are cherished in the mind. Anger will disappear just as soon as thoughts of resentment are forgotten.
~John Dryden
Acknowledge
To show resentment at a reproach is to acknowledge that one may have deserved it.
~Tacitus
Hurt
Bitterness and resentment only hurt one person, and it’s not the person we’re resenting – it’s us.
~Alana Stewart
Keep Going
Don’t watch the clock; do what it does. Keep going.
~Sam Levenson
Matter
Don’t ever allow yourself to feel trapped by your choices. Take a look at yourself. You are a unique person created for a specific purpose. Your gifts matter. Your story matters. Your dreams matter. You matter.
~ Michael Oher
Right Person
Far too many people are looking for the right person, instead of trying to be the right person.
~ Gloria Steinem
Obstacle
Nothing is an obstacle unless you say it is.
~ Wally Amos
Choice
Be miserable. Or motivate yourself. Whatever has to be done, it’s always your choice.
~ Wayne Dyer
