“My best friend’s Jocelyn’s father once told me that “the best revenge is living well,” which is terrific advice, but very difficult to listen to if you’re a hothead and a vendetta-carrying person like myself. When I get mad or feel slighted, I remember this advice and it helps me “let go” of the bad feeling. I think of it in a very practical way: the time I would spend having a mean thought or acting out against someone could be better spent thinking of a fun workout playlist on my iPod, or finding a cool recipe to use on my slow cooker, thus making my life more fit and more delicious (these are my ideas of “living well” — you have to understand how awesome my slow-cooker is).”
