Daily Reflection – Past Resentment, Present Peace
Today’s topic was resentment. But I realize, that stage of life is behind me. I no longer hold grudges. I no longer carry enemies in my heart.
Years ago, I would not even say I was African. Today, I am at peace with who I am. I’ve done the work—running 100-mile races, practicing yoga every morning, building discipline through push-ups. I’ve healed trauma in my body. I’ve found inner peace.
When I speak, some people cannot believe me. Maybe it’s because of what society says about black men. Maybe it’s because they expect misery instead of peace. But the truth is, I don’t live in resentment anymore. I’ve risen above it.
My path is different. I know what I’ve discovered. I know what peace feels like. And even if I am misunderstood, ignored, or doubted, I stand strong in my truth.
Because real recovery is not misery—it is freedom.
