Self-Respect Over Validation
Standing up for yourself is often misunderstood.

You are not the victim of what happened to you. You are the person who lives in your head, by the stories you tell yourself about the experiences you have had. After every event ask:
• Did I like the experience or not?
• What was the lesson in this experience?
• What am I taking away from this experience that will make me STRONGER?
