Walking Away

Admit it: we all did it at one point. We banged the gavel and promised to never look back.

You were wholehearted and gave your trust. You were so loyal and offered all you got. In the end, you realized no one seems to know your sacrifice or even care.

Finally,

you said to yourself:

Enough.

You hold your head up no matter what’s being said to you. You walked out with a calm smile. You took pride in everything you’ve achieved so far.

It’s never a bad decision because you finally realize your value. You deserve better.

Robert Tew said it best:

“Sometimes walking away has nothing do with weakness, and everything to do with strength. We walk away not because we want others to realize our worth and value, but because we finally realize our own.”

It doesn’t matter what other people say or think about you. It matter how you think and speak about yourself.

Never let what other people say get under your skin. You will never achieve anything great if you are constantly affected.

“If I let what other people say get under my skin, I won’t be able to leave my own home.” - Claire Underwood, House of Cards.

As long as you know your value or worth, it’s good enough. There is no need to justify to others who can't see it in you.

I know you were hurt by how you were treated and all the empty promises; you were dishearten because you values weren't recognized; you were upset because you felt your efforts were under-appreciated; you felt like screaming or punching a wall because you felt betrayed or lied to by someone you trusted. I know you've gone through a lot.

It will eventually pass.

Don't

let

people

make

you

Feel

Recognize you can strategize it better going forward, realize it was not your fault, understand no one is perfect, and let go.

Your past experience never define who you are or disqualify you from achieving what you want in life. No matter where you go, there are always toxic people who try to get rid of you due to their own insecurity and fear, destroy your relationships and trust built with others, inject fears in you just because they are scared, or lower your self-esteem to imply they are the better ones. We can not control what people do but can choose how we response to them. That's why you always need to love yourself regardless the circumstances. If you listen to people, you will not find your true self but keep having self-doubt and getting nowhere. Don't let people control your self- perception.

You don’t have to make everything work out

because

it’s not your job.

Regardless,

you need a constant reminder of your

Self Worth

&

Value

You lose nothing,

Because

it was not your lost.

You Deserve

Much

Better
