The opportunity to experience your feelings without judgment, the ability to ground yourself in the present moment, and the chance to learn another critical skill-beginning again.

How often do we allow others to hurt us? Your decision must be to step back, to step away from taking on whatever hurts may be directly or indirectly pointed at you. You wouldn't choose to be hurt. You would choose to be love and to feel loved. So begin with this. Become great at this. This is the ability to love yourself and to trust wholeheartedly in your goodness, your infinite power, your truth. with love Namaste!

Don't allow others to hurt you; step back and focus on loving and trusting yourself instead.
