Healing isn't about getting back to who you were before. It's about coming to terms with the new you, the one who survived a storm. It's about accepting that some days will be challenging, and that's okay. It's not a race and certainly not a competition.

You will continue to suffer if you have an emotional reaction to everything that is said to you. The Power is sitting back and observing everything with logic. If words control you that means everyone else can control you. Breathe and allow things to pass.

I always get ecstatic whenever people admit to laughing their asses off to something I have said or joked about. I made someone happy, and that makes me happy! I always love it whenever I make my friends or random people laugh. It makes me feel good knowing I was able to make someone laugh. Sometimes laughter is what gets you through a hard time.
