A lot of times, people spend far too much time dwelling on those places where they took a tumble and failed, that sometimes, they even fail to see the silver lining streaking past their very nose in the dark cloud.
Then there are those who are far too concerned with how others will view and judge them for a short-coming that they deny themselves the opportunity to grow from a lesson that life presented.
It’s for others to spend their energy judging, if they so choose to, that’s not your business what they think.
Your business is to pick up your life, dust your scraped knees and make something beautiful out of a situation that wanted to get the better of you.

Well put Jacqueline, however, there are times when people who should be encouraging you to learn from mistakes who keep on rubbing your nose in them to keep you down and halt your development. If that happens long enough you start believing that you truly are worthless.

I know. I have had such experience, but thankfully, I rid myself of such people by keeping my distance and shutting them out. Thank you Dave for you insight.

Jacqueline, it’s never an easy thing to talk about but please, keep getting stronger every day and you will see that the people who matter stick around. Those who fall off never mattered anyway. Love to you always and in everything from you do xoxo
