What divorce taught me…..

Some marriages shouldn’t last.

Some marriages last for the wrong reasons.

Divorce isn’t about focusing on what you’ve lost but rather acknowledging what you’ve gained.

It’s far better to count your blessings than your losses.

Dwelling on who you no longer are to someone is pointless. Concentrating on who you are becoming is all that matters.

Don’t rush through the healing process. You’ll only end up repeating it.

Never expect or trust anyone to make you completely happy…put your energy into making yourself truly happy.

Don’t let someone consume you.

Don’t make excuses for someone else’s behavior; it’s not your responsibility and in the end, it doesn’t do either of you any good.

Everyone lies whether it’s for noble reasons or malicious ones…so DON’T lie to yourself as well.

When your world is shattered, you’ll find that you are stronger than you ever thought you could be.

Time can make a difference.

Let faith be the one thing you hold onto because it will be all you need when it’s all you think you have left.
