BTT # 105 - Ending Bitterness Towards Others

A ton of men/women get bitter towards others when things do go their way in life, tonight's BTT will be about bitterness, and getting over it. Tune in live to call in during the Q&A session. Link will be provided with the show is live.
The origin of bitterness is anger/hurt.
Let anger/hurt fester long enough and it matures into bitterness
It can be the catalyst to vengeful acts, prevent you from being present (power of now), and it also facilitates a victim mindset.
You can't be bitter without having a victim mindset.
The remedy to bitterness is forgiveness.
The longer you hold onto your anger, the more you’ll sink into the destructive quagmire of hatred and resentment. Anger will always “mature” into bitterness.
Thoughts to consider:
Did the person who hurt you consciously intend to treat you maliciously?
Did they really have a personal vendetta against you? If it was, is it retaliatory?
Your offender was most likely solipsistic, and more concerned with their own agenda than hurting you.
The solution is to look at the events in a new light.
Quotes to consider:
“It is hardly possible to build anything if frustration, bitterness, and a mood of helplessness prevail.” (Lech Walesa)
“I know from personal experience how damaging it can be to live with bitterness and unforgiveness. I like to say it’s like taking poison and hoping your enemy will die. And it really is that harmful to us to live this way.” (Joyce Meyer)
“Something my mum taught me years and years and years ago, is life’s just too short to carry around a great bucket-load of anger and resentment and bitterness and hatreds.” (Kevin Rudd)
