The Good Coach

When they didn't recognise your worth, value yourself even higher. Focus on your recovery.

When they took your kind heart and generosity for granted, love and treat yourself even more. Focus on your recovery.

When they showed you they didn't care, care about yourself more than ever before. Focus on your recovery.

When they named, shamed and blamed you, know yourself to be the good person that you really are. Focus on your recovery.

When they lied, cheated and stole from you, understand God is truth and will balance out every injustice done against you. Focus on your recovery.

When their intention was to destroy you, rebuild yourself even stronger. Focus on your recovery.

They say love is worth fighting for, but never allow yourself to be their punch bag!

Yes, love is intricate and it's easy to allow those who you love to get away with more than those who you don't. But who does this benefit? Not you, nor them! They feel superior, you feel inferior. So where's the balance in the relationship?

If someone intentionally wants to hurt you, they ultimately want power over you. They may slander you or portray you in a different light to what others know you to be or outright lie about you, just to make others think better of them and worse about you. If they think this is really necessary, then this is their weakness and you need to recognise this..

You love them, you want the best for them. You want them to love you as you love them. You wouldn't dream of slandering them, belittling them, betraying them and making them feel unworthy. You can't believe or understand the way they treat you. You keep striving to be in their life...all in the name of love.

But nothing changes. No reconciling. No explanation. The relationship drifts apart.

You feel devastated, heartbroken and abandoned.

DON'T BE!

You deserve so much more, so much better. It doesn't matter who they are...family, friend, partner or whoever. You know yourself better than they do. You know you didn't deserve how they treated you. They disrespected you the moment they chose to betray you or turn against you. You know you are strong despite how they have made you feel weak and insecure.

Stop giving yourself in the name of love!

Carry with you, only, that which is light.

Your light is you and has seen you through many lifetimes to be where and who you are right now.

Your spirit is light, it is eternally yours. It will always see you through the darkest of times.

Never doubt it!

Shine bright. Stay light. Be the light.

The outcome is not necessarily yours to decide, but your doings always lead the way.

"Your perspective will either become your prison or your passport. "

Are you ready?

The healing journey is just as challenging as it was to get where you are now, because you are required to take the same road back. I know that you don't want to face all that again and you may want to take shortcuts or avoid certain paths, but that will leave your healing incomplete. You will be tempted to quit because it's the easier option, and what the hell, right? Wrong!

Don't Quit!

You got this! You can do it! I believe in you!
