“July 19 Watch your “never’s” Be careful what you say you’ll never do again. You might be building a wall between you and the good in your life. He hurt me, so I’m never going to speak to him again. She hurt me, so I’m never going to get involved with women again. Sometimes, our hurt feelings can be accurate and reliable warnings that we need to back off and stay away. But usually when we say never, it’s because we don’t want to be vulnerable and feel the hurt that came our way. Saying never may be an indication that we’ve closed our hearts. Have you built a wall with your “never’s”? Look. Peek underneath. Is there a feeling of hurt you need to feel, instead? You got burned when you touched the hot stove, so you’re never going to go near a stove again? You’ll miss out on some tasty meals. God, help me be vulnerable enough to feel my pain and learn my lesson, instead of saying never and building a big wall.” Excerpt From: Beattie, Melody. “Melody Beattie 4 Title Bundle.” Hazelden, 2011. iBooks.
