How to Get Over the Hurt-1

How to Get Over the Hurt-1

When you discover your inner sanctuary, you become like the gentle stream. You keep moving.

My inbox was swamped with comments on my last post on hurting being easier than healing. Most readers said they would love to hear my views on how to get over the hurt. Some had a different view, they didn't think it was possible to avoid getting hurt. One of them wrote:

"Don't you think it's easier said than done (to protect Yourself) from getting hurt from the ones you love? Should you be closed to them as well? Detachment is not a human emotion. It's divine and it cannot be reached by everyone or else we all would be the happiest. And if you are going to let your guards down in front of someone or anyone, you are going to keep getting hurt. And, I feel if you love or are attached to someone too much then no matter how much you try to change or forgive or forget or walk away you can't let go...the hurt keeps coming back..."

There's no question that detachment is an extraordinary trait, it is even divine. Agreed. But, that doesn't make it good enough a reason to drop it. There's also no doubt that we will get hurt, but, that doesn't mean we can't get over it. We truly do hold the keys to our happiness. The question is do you want to improve yourself? If yes, then you need to work on yourself. We can't just continue to hope that things will change without bringing a change in ourselves, in our mindset, in our lifestyle, in our approach.
