Resentment................!

Resentment is an attempt to make our failure palatable by explaining it in terms of unfair treatment, in justice. The word itself comes from two latin words: "re"meaning back, and "sentire" meaning to feel. Resentment is an emotional rehashing, or re-fighting of some event in the past. You cannot win because you are attempting to do the impossible- change the past.

Resentment is a deadly poison to the spirit, makes happiness impossible, uses up a tremendous energy which could go into accomplishment. It is the "way" that fails. Many people get a perverse satisfaction from feeling "wronged."

Resentment Creates an Inferior Self-Image. Habitual resentment invariably leads to self-pity, which is the worst possible emotional habit anyone can develop. When these habits have become firmly ensconced, a person does not feel "right" or "natural" when absent. They then literally begin to search for and look for "injustices." Such people feel good only when they are miserable.

Thus, Resentment is therefore inconsistent with Creative Goal Striving!!! In creative goal-striving, You are the Actor, not the Passive Recipient. You set Your Goals. No one owes you anything. You go out after your own goals. You become responsible for your own success and happiness. Resentment by default doesn't fit in this picture, and because it doesn't it is a "failure mechanism." You will indeed overcome Resentment and become enthusiastic and full of energy pursuing Your Happiness!! Let's do it.........!
