You must accept responsibility for your thoughts, feelings and actions. YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN FIX YOU! You are the only one who can change your feelings. You are responsible to feel the best you can possibly feel. There are things we can control and things we cannot control. The one thing you can control is you. Expecting the person who broke your heart or hurt your feelings to fix it, only keeps you stuck and trying to control something you can’t control. Being stuck in the past, holding on to bad feelings prevent emotional healing. As long as you deny the past, you’re never going to be free from whatever is keeping your focus there. If you are feeling stuck, talk with a professional to help you visit the past but not live in the past and help you safely navigate through the emotional wounds. God wants you to live life and live it abundantly. Start living your life today!
