Another example, check out smileyperson's thread, that's where he's at right now, he has realized his value, he is separated from his wife, her affair ended, SP moved on with his life, he's having a good life now, not just surviving, THRIVING!
Ok, Smiley is my pal here and IRL...it is important to be very real about this. SP is in Europe, away from his sitch and living it up. The reality of the separation has been brutal and the financial aspect has been precarious. I don't doubt that he and we all will end up thriving but you can't tie it up with a pretty bow.
Per Coach and SP-
“This is a very important lesson. You must never confuse faith that you will prevail in the end — which you can never afford to lose — with the discipline to confront the most brutal facts of your current reality, whatever they might be.”
Regardless, I still agree with you robx.
I agree, there is no pretty bow to put on any of this.
None of this would ever be something considered a present, if it was, I would have asked for the original receipt and returned it to get my money back!
This is all very tough, the decisions are all personal, no one is being pushed to make any decisions as these decisions impact only the lives affected by the people involved.
I would consider this to be the toughest times in our lives.
Don't forget, we're human beings with the ability to adapt to various environments & situations - we will survive. The goal is not just to survive, the goal is always a great life in whatever form that may be.
As always I wish everyone the best of luck in all their respective situations and I hope you all find the peace in life you all deserve.
