Back when I lived in Minnesota, we were blessed with a tremendous teacher — Fr. Arnold Weber. One of the most memorable messages Arnold would often share is “bitter vs. better.”
When we experience “key moments” in our life, we have a choice. Are we resentful, angry, upset, complaining, bitter? Or do we “get better” and learn from each experience? The decision is yours! Our attitude is a choice. As Viktor Frankl, psychologist and Holocaust survivor, stated so profoundly …
“Everything can be taken from a person but one thing: the last of the human freedoms –
to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.”
So, let’s … be better, not bitter.
