Sometimes your in situations were it’s easy to become bitter, but you do have a choice in life on what direction you can go. You can either pick the bitter direction, or you can go in the better direction. The choice does not belong to fate, it belongs to you.

Sometimes bitterness is often an easiest road to take.

Why?

Because sometimes it is easier to sit around and feel like the victim and everyone is against you. It’s easier to think negative things about everything in your life. It’s easier to let yourself become sad and not to deal with it. But most of all, its a lot easier to seek the attention you’ve lost by encouraging others to feel sorry for you. Eventually though, others lose interest.

Alternatively, you can choose to become better. Becoming better is a way more healthier option.

Becoming better is a great way to take on challenges that are in front of you because you will become more of a stronger person. Becoming better means seizing the opportunity for change. Becoming better means welcoming a new you.

With a new you, you can rebuild your life.

Starting over has so many benefits. Today is the perfect day to begin. You’ve spent the past years wearing shades of gray, now it’s time to embrace color.

Release any regret over former mistakes, embrace the life lessons they taught you.

Going through hard times is not a setback, it’s an opportunity.

Assess what you like about your life and what you want to change. Compromise no longer rules you. All those things you denied yourself are still there. You can have them. Nothing is holding you back.

Change your attitude and mindset, Don’t waste time dwelling on the past.

Let the past finally go. Delete negativity from your thoughts. Just because others disappointed you doesn’t mean you have to let their actions drag you down. Turn negatives into positives by focusing on what you’ve learned and keep moving forward.

Choose to forgive those who have hurt you. Although they did not have the right to hurt you, dwelling on the things they’ve done will only hold you back.

You don’t need to talk to them to forgive them. You don’t owe them that. They will have to come to terms with what they’ve done on their own, that’s not your issue.

But you do owe yourself the opportunity to move forward.

Remember, forgiving does not mean forgetting, it only means releasing any bitterness that restrains you.

Once you can make a conscious decision to be better, you can shed the negativity from the past. Gone are the destructive and depressing thoughts that have long held you hostage. Over time you will become a new person.
