Like Joseph your enemies are your stepping stone.

We can spend years crying over people who were not good to us.

Never realising that we were too good for them. It was the universes way of protecting us from them, and to teach us to seek what we deserve.

That friend who backstabbed and betrayed you. Did not deserve to be in the life of someone as loyal and as trusting of you. You deserved better ! You deserved to believe you were worth someone, who was just as generous with love and loyalty as you.

The people who didn't believe in your dreams. They helped you realised you could believe in them yourself. That you were strong enough to walk alone. They built your confidence and resilience. They trained you to stand up for yourself and realise nothing in life comes easy.

That you have to be the one convincing people, that you can do all you desire. There is nothing more satisfying in life, than realising, you are responsible for making your dreams come true. They made you grateful for the people who do support your dreams. They made you learn that you are lucky if one extends a helping hand. You should treasure them forever. Those doubters gave room for people in your life, who teach you to believe in yourself and reach new heights everyday.

Don't worry about that lover who broke your heart. They made you reach inside yourself, and realise your love is too precious, to give to someone who doesn't value it. Someone who doesn't know how to give it back, or someone who abuses you. They made you learn the good character traits you wanted and deserve from a partner. They made you learn to love yourself enough to attract, what you love and what loves you.

Lastly don't worry about the people who hated and hurt you. They taught you to love yourself so fully, respect yourself indiscriminately and feel so good about yourself. That you threw rubbish like them away, that was toxic to you, immediately.

Overall the people who hurt you. Made you love yourself more and desire others who loved you just the same way. They taught you to follow your dreams, and be responsible for your life because you realised, no one else was going to make your dreams a reality for you.

Happy Sunday,
Be blessed and bask in God's love.
