Relationships

Have you ever tried your hardest and it seemed as though you got yourself nowhere, or maybe even took steps back?  Well the same goes for relationships.  You can try as hard as you have ever dreamed of and yet at times, things don't work out as you may have hoped and dreamed.  Is this your fault you ask?  No, not necessarily.  Sometimes the universe just has different plans you don't understand.  It's hard at first not to let yourself feel as though you failed, but if you've tried as hard as you possibly could, how can you still look in the mirror and not be satisfied with yourself?  In this light, I encourage you to look in the mirror and admire how hard you tried.  It makes you a stronger person when you find the positive out of this trying situation.  It may take time, it may hurt like hell, but at the end of the day you will be stronger for it.  I urge you not to block out the hurt and what you used to have.  Instead, learn from it.  Let the hurt flow over you until you overcome it and conquer it.  But on that same note don't let the hurt and pain consume you.  Accept the fact you're hurting and push through it.  Know just around the corner something, whether it be a person or an opportunity, will arise that allows you to see just how much stronger and worth it you truly are.  Most likely the person you were previously with just wasn't on the same page as you.  That doesn't make you a bad person or them a bad person.  Learn from what mistakes you may or may not have made and learn from what you shared with that person and build upon it.  The power is in your hands and the sooner you can conquer your fear or your hurt and be confident with whom you truly are, the sooner you'll succeed in the next chapter of your life.
