Decide how you want to be seen, then become that

Decide how you want to be seen by those around you, then act as you would if you were who you wanted to be. That’s how you become it. Want to be seen as the better person who forgives and moves on? Then forgive and move on. Want to prove that grouch has no power over you? Stop giving them power over you. You’ll know when you’ve done that because you will stop talking about it and stop thinking about it.
