We're diving into "The Wealth Money Can't Buy" by Robin Sharma. True wealth extends far beyond material possessions. It’s about cultivating meaningful relationships, personal growth, and living with purpose. It’s a reminder that wealth is found in how we live, not just in what we own.
The Hurters Are Your Helpers
Hurt people, hurt people.
"Let's talk about your hurters or people that might hurt your feelings. Those people who played you, misused you, betrayed you, the ones who broke your trust, stole your kindness and perhaps even left you a little cynical, critical, or closed off".
"They show up in your life for a reason. You see people who cause you pain can actually be the same ones who introduce you to your power, and the suffering they have caused you can, if you choose, become a gateway into the strength that you didn't know that you had before the harm was".
"To push you out of a life of constant comfort and low personal growth into a far richer one, where you by standing in the fires of hardship, discover the great virtues of the best human beings".
Hardships and challenges push us beyond our comfort zone where personal growth stops. It’s in these moments of discomfort that we discover our greatest strengths, deepening our characters and expanding our potentials.
Instead of running from difficulties, we can embrace them as opportunities for growth, learning to endure and evolve, ultimately becoming the best versions of ourselves.
STORY TIME
You're going to have people in your life that are going to hurt you. You're going to meet mean, disrespectful, and just plain rude people. As teens, my girls have experienced it, and even as adults, we all have experienced it.
If somebody is hurt, they hurt you. You don't know what these people have gone through. You don't know what's going on in their lives.
But these hurtful people are going to draw out strengths that you didn't know you had, and teach you to be the better version of you.
"When somebody hurts your feelings, they're going to bring out virtues in you, such as wisdom, tolerance, patience, resilience, persistence, forgiveness and lovingness".
You can choose to be angry, bitter, frustrated, cynical, closed, frustrated, angry, but it's not going to serve you in your life at all. Instead, you can take those lessons from people in your life and learn from them.
Learn to be more wise and choose friendships wisely. Learn to be more tolerant, you don't need to be stepped over, but learn how to be composed and watch your words. Learn how to listen, you don't have to always speak. Learn to be patient, resilient, and persistent.
Learn forgiveness, and always remember that when you choose to forgive you don't have to keep them in your life all the time. Learn to be loving, it's going to serve you a lot better than being hateful, unforgiving, frustrated and angry.
"This will aid you in becoming the creator, warrior, leader, hero, and a truly wealthy human that you destined to only wish you would become"
These experiences lead you toward becoming a truly wealthy human, not in terms of material wealth, but in character, wisdom, and purpose. By standing strong in the face of life's trials, you are destined to become the person you always hoped to be, fulfilling your highest potential.
Hurters are more helpful because they're going to help you become the best version of you, as it works on your virtues and character. Hurt people, hurt people but you can still learn from them.
Hurt people often hurt others because they haven’t processed their own pain. But when we encounter these "hurters," they actually become powerful catalysts for our own growth.
The difficulties they bring into our lives push us to strengthen our character and to rise above the hurt. Instead of becoming bitter, we can use these experiences to refine our characters and push us toward becoming a stronger, wiser, and more compassionate version of ourselves. In a way, the people who hurt us are also helping us grow stronger.
Becoming a forgiving and loving person is key to protecting your own heart and ensuring that negativity doesn't spill over into your relationships.
Unforgiveness can plant seeds of bitterness that not only weigh you down but also impact those around you. By choosing forgiveness, you're breaking that cycle of hurt and not allowing it to define or shape your relationships with others.
When you choose love, you cultivate peace and joy, both within yourself and in your relationships. Choosing not to be the hurter creates an environment of healing and growth.
The keyword is choose. Today I'm going to choose not to react, I'm going to walk away. I'm going to choose to love and forgive. It's a choice. So today, your little golden nugget is "I choose to", when something not great happens.
Focus on the power of choice, especially in moments of challenges. It is a great reminder of how much control we truly have over our reactions. Walk away, choose love, and forgiveness, these are steps toward building a more intentional and fulfilling life.
