"Resentment is like drinking poison and then hoping it will kill your enemies." Nelson Mandela

"Whatever hurts you are feeling, know that others have felt many of them, too.

But also know that what can hurt you even more is harboring the resentment, holding a grudge, and rerunning the same hatred over and over. The word “forgive” really means to give it up for yourself -- not for them.

I've known people who, when they finally truly forgive someone, are released from long-term headaches within minutes, find immediate relief from chronic constipation and colitis, release their arthritis pain, improve their eyesight, and immediately experience a host of other physical benefits. One man actually lost 6 pounds in the following 2 days without changing his eating habits!

I have also seen people subsequently create miracles in their careers and financial lives."
