The Hurt and Pain:
Hurt v. Cause pain, injury or damage to.

Pain n. Hurt felt in body or mind.

No man or woman is worth your tears,
And the one who is,
won't make you cry...


Whatever the conflict is you're facing, understand and know; it take's time for the hurt and pain to heal. At times you'll feel awkward and uncomfortable, coupled with feelings of resentment and anger with the "one who made you cry..." Don't worry; it's normal to feel this way when you're experiencing a traumatic situation.

Let's for a moment, take you back to when you where a child, remembering the many times you fell off your bike? Or how often you fell down and cut yourself? No doubt for a while you had scars and scrapes to show off how much fun you were having, right? Well, coming out of an exclusive relationship, business deals gone soar, family dispute, etc...leaves you feeling raw and hurt, only, the "scar" is not on your knee or elbow, it's on your heart. The heated arguments and horrific confrontations that so often add salt to the open wounds do eventually heal, but it all takes time and patience, just like the now faded and gone scars that once graced your elbows and knees.

It's important to the recovery process that you surround yourself with healthy supportive people. These people will help you move forward and "won't make you cry..." In fact a true friend is someone who reaches for your hand and touches your heart to help heal the scar.

Understand; there will always be people who will intentionally and sometimes unintentionally hurt others for their own selfish and self-loathing power trips, but how you react to the hostility will either turn you into a door mat or a show stopper. Believe in yourself, and have the courage to stand up and fight for your values. Focus on seeing "what's there" and not "what's missing." Set goals that are within arms reach. The biggest mistake people make when setting goals for themselves is; they set the bar to high, making it almost impossible to reach. It's easier to set the bar at a distance where you can see it, you can smell it, it's almost within your grasp, all you need to do is take a step forward to grab it. Make the next goal you set for yourself that more challenging by setting the distance between you and "the grab" bigger, and so on...before you know it you will have turned your world around and instead of being the defeated, you'll be the conqueror.
