It’s easy sometimes to define ourselves by our circumstances, but I’ve found that this is a dangerous thing to do. There will always be things in life that don’t go our way or can’t be controlled solely. If we attach our self-worth to the external, our sense of value can go up and down like a yo-yo.

Defining ourselves by our circumstances also gives us too many excuses to remain in the place of pain that we’ve found ourselves in. We can repeat the same mistakes because that’s how we see ourselves.

YOU ARE NOT YOUR CIRCUMSTANCES…

Don’t allow what you been through to label you or define you.

It’s time to start treating yourself like you’d treat a good friend and separating who you are from what happened to you.

Positive self-talk is about recognizing the truth, in situations and in yourself.

I’ve been through hell on earth and I’m still here…

I have had to fight for life when suicidal thoughts seemed to be a brighter way out, yes I’m still here…

I have won some struggles and lost some battles and yes I’m still here…

At times my shame was so great , internal hatred showed my fate . As I overcame , I’m so thankful I yet remain.

I was abused and misused and discarded and scarred.

I couldn’t remain the same so, I exchanged my pain for change. I’m an the elect of God and He is my connect.

Love yourself to be your self

Thanking God I’m Not Every Thing I’ve Ever Been Through.
