No Enemy Outside

Can Hurt You

By Ruth Elizabeth StiffPublished 3 years ago 1 min read
"When there is no enemy within, no enemy outside can hurt you"

Learn to LOVE Yourself!

When you love yourself from the inside,

no one can 'get in' to hurt you,

even from the outside!

I'm thinking about those who 'self-harm'

--- please don't ignore them ---

they are asking for help!

Something or someone in their past

has hurt them so much

that this seems the only way they can 'deal' with it.

Today

we have good therapy.

The professionals are beginning to recognize

that this is a very real problem,

we are learning how to handle it.

One 'treatment' that I use

is to write in a journal,

it really does work

letting out all of my emotions

through the stroke of a pen.

If you can draw

even better.

Writing it out

is "getting it out"

the relief leaving you and me

feeling more in control of life.

So don't let that person from the past

(who is probably outside your life now)

ruin your day or your life.

Have Peace within,

"no enemy outside can hurt you"!

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!
