Don’t waste your time in anger, regrets, worries, and grudges. Life is too short to be unhappy. ~Roy T. Bennett

Isn’t this the truth? Why do we waste our time with these emotions? They cause so much harm to us. And sometimes to others.

Anger is one emotion that can hurt us and others. Not sure which is worse. And sometimes grudges as well. However, usually not forgiving someone hurts us much more. The other person is usually completely unaware of the anger and frustration we have against them.

Regrets and worries. Now those are things that usually harm us only. Why? We can’t change the past; there’s no sense in continuing to beat ourselves up over it. Simply learn from our mistakes and move on.

Worrying about the future is usually an exercise in futility. Do what you can, and then let it go.
