WHAT YOU WITHHOLD IS MORE DAMAGING THAN THE INCIDENT ITSELF

If lots of time has passed since a negative incident has happened to you, and yet it still deeply bothers you to this day, if you think it’s the experience which has cause the most damage to you – it’s not. For you to withhold the negative thoughts and emotions from what people have done to you are more damaging than the situations themselves and the people who did those things to you.

You can’t just cut someone out of your life. You also have to cut the anger you withhold from them in your life.
You can’t just leave behind the situation. You also have to leave behind the annoyance you withhold from the situation.
You can’t just let go of that place. You also have to let go of the bitterness you withhold from that place.

Maintaining your sense of well-being isn’t only based on who or what you release from your life physically. It also depends what you release from your life mentally, emotionally and spiritually. No matter how long it’s been, you can never be truly free from a negative situation if you still carry damaging emotions and thoughts about it.
