Forgive the person you resent

If you have long term issues with someone and you know they will never alter their position or attitude, there is only one option left to you: forgive them. The truth is the only person you are hurting is yourself - they're just getting on with their life.

You may be faking the sincerity of your forgiveness to start with - resentment simmers like a good stew - but after a few months of dedicating yourself to forgiving them, you will notice a difference. They won't get under your skin quite the same. Serenity returns....
