Forget what hurt you but never forget what it taught you. Unknown
It is a rare gift to be able to practice today's quote. I'm about 38/365 of the way there. (That number means that in a year I'm able to practice today's quote almost a full 10 days!) *grin*
The biggest lessons I have learned in life have come through quite a bit of hurt. But it is true that as time moves forward I have forgotten the details of the hurt, they've become rather sketchy, but I have not forgotten what I learned. And what I learned was valuable.
Through hurtful situations I have learned how to live in fear of God rather than fear of man. That's the biggest lesson I think I've learned throughout the years. I consider it to be the biggest because living in fear of man (people pleasing) affects every single area of life. So if I can straighten that out then it stands to reason that other parts of my life start straightening out.
A person interested in being healthy emotionally and spiritually will make the choice to forget the hurt and focus on the lesson. A person not interested in being healthy (even if they say they are) makes the choice to focus on the hurt and forget the lesson. Which kind of person are you?
