Do You Feel Like You Need To Get Revenge?

Revenge-  have you ever felt like you wanted someone to hurt like you have? 

Do you sometimes wish revenge on someone? 

Do you feel the desire to get even or to try to punish someone because you hurt? 

It is normal to feel like this sometimes.

However, you do not have to act on such feelings. 
 
Feeling like you want to get revenge on someone is a part of anger. 

It is okay to feel anger- it is what you do with anger that is important.

It is not our job to judge others and seeking revenge is is not helpful for anyone. Seeking revenge will actually hold you back in life.

If you feel like getting revenge on someone who hurt you------- take a deep breath and walk away from them. 

Look at any lesson that can be learned from the situation and other than that- let it go.

Accept what you have to of what you do not have control of and forgive what you need to forgive.

You do need to get your hurt feelings out - but do this appropriately. Talk to a trusted friend or a counselor. Journal. But do not act out of anger. There is nothing good that can come out of that.

You are NOT WEAK if you do not get revenge on someone. You are in fact the STRONG ONE!

And this will set you free......................
