Be The Change That Impacts Generations To Come…
I once was the “High Impact Speaker” at a political gathering. There were several hundred people there and 45-50 of them were politicians. The objective was to bring awareness to abuse issues and encourage funding.
Because I had lived a severely abusive relationship, had worked with many abuse survivors and I wasn’t afraid to speak out, I was the perfect person to represent the cause.
War against abuse…
One of the speakers before me was very passionate and dedicated to the cause. As she spoke she referred to it as a “war against abuse”. My whole body cringed and tightened up.
All I could think was… I just came from hell, I don’t want to start a war against anything. That will only bring more pain. I want the pain to stop.
Mother Theresa said it best…
I like what Mother Theresa said… “I was once asked why I don’t participate in anti-war demonstrations. I said that I will never do that, but as soon as you have a pro-peace rally, I’ll be there.”
Is this a movement…
I mentioned to someone what I started… which is to inspire people to nurture themselves and heal the “abuse after effects”, and then encourage them to reach out and help others do the same. Which will strengthen our entire community. Their comment to me was, “It sounds like you are starting a movement.”
If encouraging others to take control of their lives and then help others do the same is a movement… then yes. A “movement” to a better world for them, a better world for everyone.
Imagine our daughters, granddaughters, nieces, sisters living in a healthy relationship without abuse. Having loving, respectful relationships where abuse isn’t tolerated, and therefore isn’t present. It would change the world in such a powerful positive way.
Who can you reach out to…
With the high statistics of women, children and men being abused, chances are you have experienced it yourself, or you know of at least one person who has.
What are you going to do to start the deep healing from the past? Who do you know that you could reach out to and maybe start the healing journey together?
Don’t wait any longer, start now. Life is too good to wait.
