Let Go of Resentment, Anger and Bitterness

 

Let Go of Resentment, Anger and Bitterness
by Jane Powell

 

“When you let go of things, they let go of you.”

 

When you harbor resentment, anger or bitterness, the person you end up harming the most is yourself. Negative emotions have a way of creating negative energy that destroys positive emotions, like generosity, love and joy. Although the unhappy situation may be long gone, you may be allowing it to hold you back by holding onto the feelings it evoked.

 

Today, vow to start “cleaning out” that inner vault of negativism. Try to forgive those who’ve caused you previous pain, and if you can’t forgive, at least learn to forget.

 

Break free! Let go! Move forward with optimism. It’s the best way to find happiness.

 

WINDOW THROUGH WHICH WE LOOK

A young couple moved into a new neighborhood. 

The next morning while they were eating breakfast,

the young woman watched her neighbor hanging wash outside.
"That laundry is not very clean," she said. "She doesn't know how to wash correctly.

Perhaps she needs better laundry soap."
Her husband looked on, but remained silent.

Every time her neighbor would hang her wash to dry,

the young woman would make the same comments.

About one month later, the woman was surprised to see a nice clean wash on
The line and said to her husband,

"Look, she has learned how to wash correctly. 

I wonder who taught her this."

The husband said, "I got up early this morning and cleaned our windows."

And so it is with life. What we see when watching others may depend on the
Purity of the window through which we look.

 

Don't be afraid to examine your weaknesses.

In them you'll find some of your greatest potential.
Certainly you can always make improvements to what you already do well.

Yet at best, those will be incremental improvements.

 

Consider, though, what happens when you work on overcoming your weaknesses.

The results in your life can be revolutionary.

 

In fact, transforming a weakness into a strength can make all your other strengths more effective. When the weakness is no longer holding you back,

every part of your life will see the benefits.

 

Be thankful for your strengths. And be honest about your weaknesses.

 

For when you are clear about what you cannot yet do well, that's the first step to improvement. Any weakness can be transformed into strength when you simply have the courage to grow.

 

Ralph Marston
