Search your
heart for feelings of injustice and unfairness that you feel have been
inflicted upon you and let them go. You are free. ~Louise L. Hay
I love this
quote from Louise Hay … and below is a wonderful article from the dailyom. Reading and pondering all of these things
make me feel better and that somehow someway things are getting better … one
moment at a time.
It is natural to feel resentment or
anger when life does not unfold as expected. We consciously or unconsciously
anticipated one experience, and we grieve for the loss of it when the universe
puts something else in our path. Most of the time, we work through these
feelings and they pass. Occasionally, our anger and resentment do not fade and
are instead transformed into bitterness. Bitter feelings allow us to become
perfect victims in that we no longer feel obliged to work toward healing and
choose instead to identify with our pain. Yet as unwholesome as bitterness can
be, it is also a natural element of our emotional palette. When we acknowledge
that it is okay to feel bitter, we reconnect with our hurt in a constructive
way and can begin the process of working through it.
The nature of bitterness is rooted in
the fact that the pain we feel provides us with a rationale. We may feel that
we deserve to embrace our bitterness to its full extent. And to be bitter is,
in essence, to cut ourselves off from all that is positive, hardening our
hearts and vowing never to let go of our hurt. But just as bitter feelings can
be self-defeating, so too can the release of bitterness be life-affirming in a
way that few other emotional experiences are. When we decide that we no longer
want to be bitter, we are reborn into a world filled with delight and
fulfillment unlike any we knew while in the clutches of bitterness. The veil it
cast over our lives is lifted, letting light and warmth touch our souls.
Divesting yourself of bitter feelings
can be as simple as truly forgiving and moving on. Even when your bitterness
has no concrete object, you can forgive situations too. Healing pain can be
challenging but may be easier if you remind yourself that you are the only
entity truly affected by your emotional state. In time, you will discover that
letting go of your bitterness frees you to initiate the healing process and
allows you to once again celebrate the possibility of the more wonderful life
you deserve. ~dailyom.com

Jan, I love the quote and the article, thank you for posting them. I have found that carrying around bitterness and anger only weighs me down and, though it may take a while to work through those feelings, once I let them go I feel so much better.
