7 Things I’ve Learned From Betrayal

1. Entitlement — expecting too much from others. Being treated poorly by others is a reflection of the way they treat themselves, but it also highlights our standards in the way we allow others to treat us. Having expectations of how others should treat us only sets us up for disappointment — we must act on the way things are rather than how we want them to be.

2. Self-love — filling our own cup first. The relationship we have with ourselves will determine the nature of the relationships we have with others. If we are seeking relationships from a place of scarcity we will never have what we desire.

3. Compassion — forgiving ourselves & others. Blaming ourselves or others for what’s happened will not change anything — it will only create resistance to what is.

4. Pronoia — understanding why it was necessary.Pronoia suggests that everything happens for our growth and this allows us to derive a meaning from our suffering & this is how we turn it into our strength.

5. Integration — learning from the past. Being able to notice patterns of behaviour that lead to dishonest relationships such as when we’re settling for less than what we desire.

6. Tribe — valuing those who are true to us. Surrounding ourselves with positive people who nurture and support us instead of settling for those who do not have our best intentions at heart.

7. Authenticity — being ourselves. Betrayal teaches us to value being true to ourselves & others because those who lie to us are reflecting parts of us that are untrue.

The way others treat us is a reflection of how they treat themselves.

Peace & positive vibes.
