Dealing with Pains from the Past


I loved this quote! 

These are powerfully wise words. 

There should be a required class in High School that teaches kids the correct tools and processes they can use to adequately deal with past pain. I don't know of a person on the planet that wouldn't benefit in some way.

“You can accept or reject the way you are treated by other people, but until you heal the wounds of your past, you will continue to bleed. You can bandage the bleeding with food, with alcohol, with drugs, with work, with cigarettes, with sex, but eventually, it will all ooze through and stain your life. You must find the strength to open the wounds, stick your hands inside, pull out the core of the pain that is holding you in your past, the memories, and make peace with them” 


― Iyanla Vanzant, Yesterday, I Cried
