People are not mean to us because they don’t like us, but because they don’t like themselves.

It is a strange thing we do, blaming ourselves when people hurt us, but we all do it.

We must be models for our children. We must treat people well on every level. We can no longer complain or judge people around us; our children learn from this. We have to promote inclusion, rather than competition. No more complaining about, criticizing, or judging others in front of our kids. It starts with us.

Staying angry gives the people who hurt us continued power over us.

When you can’t let it go, validate it!

Believing that you don’t deserve to heal is one of the biggest blocks to healing
