The past few weeks have been challenging for me. While finding happiness and safety, I entered another pit, and then I discovered some key lessons, which I will be sharing with you today.

1. Never give people too much access to your life; set boundaries: It's essential to set boundaries in relationships, whether they are personal or professional. When you allow people too much access to your life, you risk getting hurt, taken advantage of, or overwhelmed. Setting boundaries helps protect your emotional, mental, and physical well-being and allows you to maintain healthy relationships.

2. Don't say too much: Be mindful of what you say, especially in sensitive situations. It's easy to say things we may regret later, so it's important to think before speaking. It's better to say less than more when in doubt to avoid hurting someone's feelings or causing unnecessary drama.

3. Be happy! Regardless of your situation, happiness is a state of mind that comes from within. You can choose to be happy, even when things aren't going as planned. Cultivating a positive attitude, practising gratitude, and focusing on the good in your life can help you stay happy, even in challenging situations.

4. Move on: Letting go of the past can be difficult, but it's important for personal growth and well-being. Dwelling on past mistakes or hurtful experiences can hold you back and prevent you from moving forward. Learning to forgive, releasing negative emotions, and focusing on the present can help you move on and create a brighter future.

5. Trust God and trust the process: Trusting in a higher power can help provide comfort, guidance, and peace of mind. Having faith that everything will work out in the end, even if it doesn't seem like it at the moment, can help you stay positive and hopeful. Trusting the process of life, with all its ups and downs, can also help you stay grounded and resilient.

By applying these lessons, you can develop healthier relationships, communicate more effectively, cultivate happiness and find peace and comfort.
