Resentment (Weekly Recovery Reflection)
When I'm reproached or called out for bad behavior, the sting is far greater when I know I was in the wrong.

"To show resentment at a reproach is to acknowledge that one may have deserved it."

My Thoughts
If I am truly honest, the criticism I receive that hurts the most is the kind I deserve. When I'm reproached or called out for bad behavior, the sting is far greater when I know I was in the wrong. Many of my bitterest resentments come from my unwillingness to admit my part. And I always have a part, even if my part is holding on to the resentment.
Action for the Week
If I'm wrong today, let me quickly admit it, and move on.
