As I go through my long list of regrets in my life, most of it has to do with relationships.

Relationships that are broken, relationships that are unresolved, relationships that ended

that really didn't have to.

Most of us are ill-prepared for handling relationship-based conflicts.

There were two immature to resolve them.

What actually happens is a scratch becomes infected, and the infection expands, and it takes

over until it ultimately kills your relationship.

That infection is what I call resentment.

Think about the word resentment as it being a wedge.

A wedge is a powerful tool.

Resetment is the wedge that splits and ends relationships.

The longer it sits in there and the further and deeper it gets, the more likely that it's

going to end in a big implosion.

Our job and business are at home or in our relationships is to control resentment.

Now, you do that by running quickly towards problems and trying to resolve it wholeheartedly

so that you can just move on.

Disentment is a constant thief.

It continues to steal from your emotions, your energy, your happiness, your relationships,

until you actually resolve it.

The only way to break the cycles of resentment is with forgiveness.

Forgiveness is a little bit selfish.

It allows me to let go of a situation.
