Good Morning.
.
I awoke today thinking about the old saying that
‘Revenge is a dish best served cold,’
it is very clever, and definitely is a soundbite created in media heaven. But it is wrong!
.
This type of thinking is a recipe for absolute disaster.
.
Let’s imagine that someone ‘does you wrong’ in some way.
Then, according to this style of thinking, you should dwell upon it and hone your anger and resentment over time in order to await your opportunity, and then get your own back, in spades.
.
If a person behaves wrongly towards you and you continually dwell upon it, then surely you are allowing them to have an even larger part of yourself by thinking of them all the time.
‘
Brooding about stuff is something that we seem to be inclined to do naturally anyway, so it cannot be good to deliberately add to it.
.
Have you ever had the experience of feeling down and depressed about something that has just happened, and then suddenly you find yourself sitting there remembering all the bad things that happened to you in your past?
This is because you have stored all that stuff inside, instead of just letting it go
.
Oh yes, you might be thinking, but what about those other people who have done bad things to me. They will just be getting away with it!
No they don’t.The ripples keep spreading out from all of the actions that a person takes.
.
The last thing that helps is to be aware of your thoughts.
If you find yourself thinking in a negative fashion in any way, then immediately put a stop to it, and think of something else.
.
Forget them. Go and learn to Salsa instead!
.
Love
