Don't let bitterness consume you from "summary" of Dare to Forgive by Edward M. Hallowell
The corrosive power of bitterness can take hold of you without warning. It sneaks up, whispering in your ear, "You were wronged." It festers inside you, twisting your thoughts and poisoning your spirit. Before you know it, bitterness has wrapped its tendrils around your heart, squeezing out any room for joy or peace. It becomes a heavy burden that you carry with you everywhere, coloring your interactions with others and clouding your perception of the world. Bitterness can consume your thoughts, turning them into a never-ending loop of resentment and anger. It can make you see the worst in people, replaying past hurts like a broken record. It can drain your energy, leaving you feeling exhausted and defeated. It can even manifest physically, causing headaches, stomach aches, and other stress-related symptoms. But here's the thing: you have a choice. You can choose to hold on to bitterness, letting it eat away at you day by day. Or you can choose to let it go, freeing yourself from its toxic grip. Forgiveness is not about excusing the wrong that was done to you. It's about releasing yourself from the burden of bitterness, reclaiming your peace of mind, and moving forward with your life. Forgiveness is not easy. It requires courage, humility, and a willingness to let go of the past. It may take time, effort, and even tears. But the rewards are immeasurable. By choosing to forgive, you reclaim your power, your dignity, and your humanity. You open yourself up to new possibilities, new relationships, and new beginnings. You free yourself from the chains of bitterness and step into the light of forgiveness. So, dare to forgive. Dare to let go of bitterness and embrace the healing power of forgiveness. Dare to choose peace over resentment, love over hate, and freedom over bondage. Dare to reclaim your life, your happiness, and your humanity. Dare to forgive, and watch as the weight of bitterness lifts from your shoulders, leaving you lighter, brighter, and more alive than ever before.
