It is important to remember that Making Peace With Your Past is vital to your personal development. As a business owner, you can use fear to help fuel or start your business by:
- It is important to express your pain and find balance to help you move towards the next steps.
- Focus on today because yesterday is gone. It may still hurt, but you can focus on the present.
- You can’t drive a car with your head looking back. You must drive looking ahead of you.
- Please get the support that you need. The first step is to ask for help. You can walk around hurting and we expect others to see our pain, but people are unable to see it. Ask for what you need. If you are sad, cold, hungry, need a friend, tell someone.
- Be mindful of those intruding thoughts that tell you that you are not good enough. You are more than enough. Look for the good in others and not the bad so that you find a reason to isolate.
- It is your responsibility and mine to give back to those that are going through or have through your same story.
- Forgive yourself and others. Not for them, but for your own growth. Where there is no forgiveness, there is no growth. Let go of it. I am not saying you should forget, but you must let go so that you can grow.
- Tell your story. I lived in an abusive marriage for 14 years, but with much prayer and trust in my own abilities, I was able to move forward and grade from college with 2 masters and a doctoral degree. I use everything that I have to help transform the lives of others so that they never have to go through what I went through. It is such a desolate place to be in even when you are in the room full of people.
- Get comfortable with work remotely.
I am human and I have had to make peace with my past as well. People have hurt me, but I won’t let it stop me.
