Path to Peace

I'm not sure how many of you click on the link "Path to Peace" on our blog, but I try and look at it every day. It is so simple, but yet very meaningful.

Today - April 29, 2008:
Anger is like an addiction,
Not only did we get upset
the first time,
but we go over and over it,
like watching reruns of a
favorite movie.

Boy, how true that is. It's easy to say forgive and forget, but not so easy to "actually" do it. I will be the first to admit I hang on to things way too long. As hard as I try, there is always that one thing nagging at me that I just can't let go of. I'm working on it, but man is it hard. I wish we were programmed to only remember the good things, but unfortunately, sometimes we tend to forget the good things because we're so adamant about hanging on to the bad.

This quote reminded me today how easy it is to let those negative things bring us down. Whether professionally or personally - it's a daily struggle most of us probably need to work on.
