But I’m the one who was hurt!
January 11, 2012 | Feelings: Intentional freedom, Q&A: Dear Friend
Dear Suzie,
While I semi agree with your blog post yesterday, I don’t think you understand fully. What if you are the one who was hurt? Do you still have to step back to see the whole picture? What about the person who created the conflict in the first place? Don’t they have responsibility in this too?

Dear friend,
I don’t know your situation, but the one thing I do know for certain is that the only person we can fix is ourselves. That’s as much power as we have. But in the long run, it’s one of the most powerful, influential moves we can make as human being, as moms, as a spouse, as a woman of faith.
We stop spending energy trying to fix what is beyond us.
We start putting that same energy toward what we love and want to pursue.
It’s not about trying to figure out what is fair, or what another person should or shouldn’t do, but to take one small step toward peace — for you, if for no one else.
