Whatever can hurt you the worst has the equivalent power to help you the most.

Every person has some kind of hurt in their life. Sometimes the hurts in our lives come from the people we love the most. When you are hurt by someone who you love ask yourself the following questions: What role does this person play in my life?

Were they honestly trying to hurt me or help me? Is there any truth in what they are saying that I could use to help me be better?

If you have been hurt by someone you don’t know or don’t love, you can depersonalize the hurt and still allow the hurt to help you. Always remember, you have to give permission for people to both hurt you and help you. Choose to let anyone who has hurt you to help you be better.
