In the Driver's Seat -- Part 2

I asked yesterday what drives your life. Rick Warren in The Purpose-Driven Life (https://www.churchsource.com/rickwarren) suggests  four drivers that often distract us from what really should be driving our lives:

The past  has passed.
Resentment and Anger -- Some of us would rather get even than get healthy. We bottle up our hurts and never get over them. Instead, we react poorly. "Some resentment-driven people "clam up" and internalize their anger, while others "blow up" and explode it onto others. Both responses are unhealthy and unhelpful."

The past is gone. The person we think wronged us probably has forgotten about whatever it is that keeps you resentful. No one who hurt you in the past can continue to hurt you unless you allow it, "For your own sake, learn from it and then let it go."
