Do you want to be right, or do you want to be free?

In recovery, we often hear the words irritable, restless and discontent. One of the biggest blockages that keeps us in this state is holding onto past resentments or ‘justified anger.’

The problem is, until you can release the resentment, you will never be free. Justified or not.

Resentment is very much like you drinking the poison and waiting for the other party to suffer.

Letting go of your resentment is the key to your freedom.

Will you have to do some work to get there? Absolutely. There are is a spiritual path waiting for ou to help to get you to the other side.

There is no value in being right at the expense of your freedom.

Choose to be free today. Why? Because you deserve it.

I don’t care about being right or being free.

By the grace of God, I deal with irritability, restlessness and discontent, well enough that they’re becoming strangers to me and I’m not even sure what they feel like anymore.
I can get pretty darn frustrated, but that doesn’t mean I’m going to build a resentment and hurt myself with it. I did that already, and it didn’t work for me so I changed it.

Good analogy about poison there I’m gonna give you another that I love that could apply to resentment as well :

Siddhartha Gautama taught that holding onto anger, is like grasping a hot coal with the intention to throw it at somebody. In the end, you are the only one that gets burned.

I’m learning that I have resentments that I wasn’t even aware of and have my whole life. I know I need to unpack and heal these to heal myself or move forward and grow! One day at a time, One situation at a time, One choice at a time…Just For Today!

I love being free and don’t have time to waste being miserable . I often ask myself do you honestly think the other person cares if they wrong you . Most likely not or they have no idea . I’ve learned to just take anything that was said or done and just give it to My Loving God He heals Gods amazing Grace
