frustration with all that life sends us to grow our resilience facing our ordeals.
The wise teach us that bitterness inflicts more harm on its carrier, than its targeted recipient.
Anxiety is a constant reminder that life's trials invite us to be the instrument creating the remedy to all the obstacles that appear daily to block our path into a happier and rewarding life. Any thought filled with bitterness can divert us from our journey into a better tomorrow, when believing that our angry reaction will reverse the setback that has provoked our fury.
A truth often neglected in moments fed by wrath is our determination to rake over the embers of the distant past, with bitterness a ready ingredient rising to destroy any hope of joy celebrating living in the present.
Travelling along the road of hard knocks the wisest, of the wise learns that bitter memories surface filled with detailed accounts, whereas love releases any thought that revenge can provide useful directions.
18 Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past.
19 See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland. ~ Isaiah 43
