Suckerpunch stage 3

[labug]

And don't think that I don't understand, I've had to do a lot of dialing back of my ego and figuring that doing the right thing sometimes seems unfair and hurts. But the more I tried to defend myself, the more I hurt and the more people I hurt.

One of the most valuable questions I've learned is to ask myself "What is my motive?" Often times, less often now, thankfully, it's to hurt the person who is hurting me, or to protect myself at all costs. I've also found that when something doesn't feel right in my gut, no matter how much I want it, or how many people support my position, I should listen to my gut.
