Breaking The Chains Of Bitterness
A daily commitment to heal emotionally
Some peace does not come on purpose it comes slowly ~ Author

Some people wake up sad, disappointed or discouraged with life. Others are crude in their behavior, disrespectful, self-sabotaging or emotionally absent and have no idea why. I’m not writing this short story to bash anyone or make anyone feel guilty. I’m here to present a few schools of thought about self-development.
Self-development is about, no one else. This is not about what happened to you as a child although that matters, self-development is not about what happened in your last relationship or what’s going on with your children. Breaking the chains of bitterness begins with you.
This story may not apply to everyone but if it does not apply to you then maybe someone you know. Could something have happened many years ago that impacted your heart, mind and soul so deeply that you are filled with bitterness? I don’t know anyone who would openly acknowledge that they are bitter or that their bitterness has wounded them.
It’s time to break the chain of bitterness and find out why you are so moody. Find out why you are mean-spirited. Find out why you are a workplace bully or a cyberbully. Sometimes people have had poor behavior for so long that don’t know that are insulting people who brought no harm to them.
No person is without challenges or days are not exhausting. There will always be an excuse to not grow, not to heal or give a response when you could choose silence. Some of us are in trouble emotionally, physically and mentally. Some people wake up drinking and go to sleep with people they just met so that they are not alone.
To those who find themselves, angry, confused or disappointed stop punishing yourself because of what someone else has done to you. Sometimes things are intentional other times people are still growing themselves and hurting us unintentionally.
Wherever you are on the spectrum of self-sabotage, begin by breaking the chains of bitterness, write the wrong off as bad debt, and let it go for you, not the one who caused the harm. Are you tired of being tired? Are you tired of being in emotional pain and pretending nothing is wrong? Breaking the chains of bitterness is a process, not a destination.
Let the journey begin…
