We often hang on to a grudge because we think this gives us power. Sometimes we want to secretly (or not so much) punish the wrong-doer for the pain they caused us. Ironically, when we hang on to a grudge, we are actually handing over our power to the offender . . . and on a silver platter. We give them another piece of us even after all they had taken when they hurt us. Hanging on to grudges therefore keeps the pain alive and current. By hanging on to our past pain and history, we are prevented from achieving all who we were meant to be. While in the tight grip of a grudge, we are prevented from fulfilling our destiny.
