Get Over It. Build a Bridge

Not one of us walking planet Earth is without holding a grudge or grievance about someone or something. Holding grudges and grievances is part of the human condition. In fact, the Universe, Soul, and Infinite Intelligence all use "grudge holding" as a learning tool. If you're ready to soar to new heights, read on; if not…see you next week.
Holding a grudge or grievance is merely the unacceptance of God's plan for us. The foundation of any grudge or grievance is that someone took what was ours, hurt our feelings, or disappointed us in one way or another. The first rule of life is that if someone took something of ours, it wasn't ours to begin with, OR it was time for one to release that something to make room for something greater (God's plan). Secondly, the only one who can hurt our feelings is us. We are divinely appointed children of God in whom He is well-pleased. Hurt feelings are self-imposed and have no place in the mind and heart of a child of God.
Lastly, disappointment arises when one expects a certain outcome that didn’t occur. I remember getting a flat tire on my way to a regular weekly meeting I attended. Upon my late arrival, I was angry and frustrated that someone else was sitting in my "regular" seat. I was forced to sit way in the back. I was seething at the person sitting in my seat. How silly…a waste of energy, to be sure. I was bringing my frustration to my new seat location. To bring my level of angst down, I reminded myself that God's timing is perfect, and I took a deep breath. About ten minutes later, during a short break, the man next to me introduced himself. I learned he was looking for a real estate broker to sell some property for him, and I fit the bill.
My plan (expectation) was overruled by God’s will, thankfully.
Right now, this minute, identify a grudge you’ve been carrying around. When I first did this exercise, a grudge against someone else surfaced from forty years ago. The question now begs: how do I release a grudge/grievance I’ve been holding against someone, something, a culture, a family member, or a political party? Remember, releasing a grudge or grievance is not about the other person; it's about the emotional and spiritual "sludge" that has built up in the grudge holder: YOU. We are spirit-beings-having-a-human-experience. As such, one must “repurpose” a grudge/grievance experience from a material world experience to a spiritual platform — a place where only love exists.
Emancipate yourself. Whether your grudge/grievance is about a person, a culture, religion or government, begin the journey to get over it – give the grudge a different meaning. Mentally, in a quiet space, close your eyes and see yourself on one side of a bridge. It can be a wooden bridge, a giant span bridge or a jeweled bridge. Unleash those imagination skills. See the subject of your grudge on the other side. Now, add a surrounding aura of green light in your mind's eye around your grudge, that is, the receiver of your grudge energy. Imagine their arms open to receive you. Then, with the passion of 1,000,000 stallions, start running all the way into the waiting grudgee’s loving arms. Give yourself the freedom to just "be" in the green light of love and forgiveness with them.
Repeat until free. Repeat with other grudges. Repeat until your solar plexus is bursting with joy.
The ball's in your court, eh?
AFFIRMATION: I am totally free from grudges and grievances.
