Finding love
A bad childhood can affect anyone, you would be surprised at how many famous people have experienced horrid.childhoods.One of the most famous celebrities Oprah Winfrey Suffered a horrendous childhood. Not only was she physically and mentally abused, she was so poor that she literally wore sack cloths as clothing! She is now one of the wealthiest women in the world and has been in a relationship for 26years. This is just one example look on line and you will find many well known people whom have come through adversity to find happiness. Oprah took things to another level, for she had no fear.
The first thing one must do is to know whatever happened to you is not your fault, you are not to blame.
It is essential to love yourself and to know how wonderful you are. Look in the mirror everyday and say a mantra. “ I am beautiful I am amazing I am the best” Repeat this over and over 10 times a day each morning. It may sound ridiculous but it really is essential to love yourself... How can you expect anyone to care and love you if you do not? Know how wonderful you are in every way.
2. A fact bad childhood experiences do shape your perceptions as an adult. Acknowledging this is extremely empowering and important.You are now armed with the arsenal/strength to change the way you view things!
3. Importantly Know because someone abandoned you or and hurt you in the past does not mean it is certain to happen now as an adult. Open up to the one you love. The best and most successful relationships contain honesty mutual respect and trust. Of course this is no guarantee that you will not be let down in love. However this is life, many people suffer heartbreak and disappointments in relationships. If this happens to you, it is just an experience on your journey called life. Be strong and pick yourself up and have no fear of trying again, just say to yourself .. Okay that did not work out but I tried and now I am but one step closer to true love. Believe it, feel it and have no fear of trying. The most successful people in life have all one thing in common, they are fearless of failure.
4. So to recap love yourself and have no fear of finding real love and lasting happiness. The past is the past and there is a whole new wide world out there for you. Love yourself and love will certainly come your way...
5. If you find you are having difficulties with the above points, a good therapist may help you. Visit your Dr for a referral. Remember life is for living don’t waste a minute! Start today right away.
