The Bitterness That You Feel In The Past Will Hinder You To Move Forward

If you wanted to live life to the fullest, then start to evaluate yourself. Try to check if you feel some bitterness on the inside. Because it will hinder you from moving forward. The negative thoughts you have towards someone will lead you to miss the important things you need to consider along the way. You may be surrounded by many opportunities, but at the end of the day, you will not be able to appreciate it because what you have in mind is something that your present can no longer handle. It’s because you are trying to live with the pain you experienced in the past. And it will stop you from seeing better perspectives in life. So before it’s too late, and while you still have enough strength to make things right, you need to set yourself free and learn how to forgive.

Bitterness will destroy your future. It will hinder you from making the right decisions. When you are too occupied with so much emotion on the inside, you will unconsciously do things that you will regret in the end. You will fail to focus on the goal, and when that happens, you will begin to feel so broken. If you treat the bitterness that you feel to be the driving force for you to work hard, then it will never satisfy you in the end. You may feel happy and relieved because you finally get what you want, but you will still feel bitter deep within. Because success can never replace forgiveness. Sometimes, what we truly want is not revenge, but simply a heart that’s willing to forgive. 

I know that it’s not an easy thing to forgive the person who caused you pain. But you are not doing this for them. More importantly, you are doing it for yourself. The moment you give up the negative emotions you have inside, you will see things clearly, and you will feel the freedom to achieve the dreams that your heart truly desires. You will learn to persevere not because of your negative experiences but because you finally give yourself the chance to freely chase your goals in life.

If you can’t do it right now, then you can ask for some help. Learn to surrender it all to God and let Him take over. Stop doing things on your own. Accept the fact that you need His presence to transform your heart. He will teach you how to forgive those people who hurt you. It will never be an easy process, but you will finally learn to live this life to the fullest when you get through it.
