go and forgive because this
anger is toxic.

There comes a time and a place where you must address a person or situation when enough is enough. For me, I have reached that point when it comes to harboring anger towards people who have intentionally and/or unintentionally did something to hurt me. That list would include people from both my past and present. I’m unashamed to acknowledge that I would include me. Sometimes I become upset thinking about the decisions I’ve made in my life and this has only contributed towards developing feelings like guilt, regret, misery and/or depression. In addition, I struggle with forgiving others and have had moments when I wish bad karma upon these individuals. I’m getting too old to carry around this negativity since it’s prohibiting me from appreciating the joy that life offers through simple things like the sun’s warmth on my skin, a sip of green tea, conversation with a good friend, and journaling my thoughts.
Today, I will take one step to release any unresolved anger lurking inside my spirit that prevents me from attaining inner peace.
