Remember the old hit Smoke gets In Your Eyes? This story I tell you today is a rebuff to these sorts of tired old romantic cliches of pop.

A story about the scales falling from my eyes and the lyric from that song

Something inside cannot be denied takes on a completely new meaning.

Points to think about when the scales fall from your eyes:

#1 Don't waste time feeling stupid in retrospect. At least you can see the truth now.

#2 Think about how you can show up strong when you see them again (there is a specific strategy to this)

#3 Forget trying to erase or solve the pain of the situation/reaslisation, and focus instead on building resilience.
