How Long?

“The greatest obstacle to connecting with our joy is resentment.”

Pema Chodron

Happiness isn’t so much a matter of what is there as it is about removing what’s in the way.
You can’t possibly feel positive emotion when you’re holding onto things that bring you pain.

That’s not to say you can’t go through it.
Life’s hard sometimes, and you’re allowed to hurt.

The question is: How long do you want to feel angry, bitter or resentful?
And more importantly: What you can clear away today so you can connect with your joy?
