Do you know when a hurtful or loving word was said, or when someone put hands on you in a loving or hurtful way? Words and thoughts can have the same impact as if you were physically hurt or loved by someone. How even when someone says sorry the damage was done. Your words, thoughts, and actions can be destructive or constructive and you can choose how you're going to show up within yourself and with others each and every single day, each and every second, each and every single moment. Look at how you treat yourself and look at how you treat others. 

There is a power you hold...look at how you treat yourself and look at how you treat others and how you choose to utilize your power. 

Sometimes it may have been you who was the one causing the hurt.... or you were the one receiving the hurt. You also were the one giving the love or receiving the love. You are not powerless or helpless. You just didn't have the tools or understanding to realize the power you had and how to use it to heal and love in a healthy positive way.

Your words thoughts and actions are all accounted for which is why you only have control over yourself. Accountable for the choices YOU make whether it involved another person or not what part did you play in the story. How do you learn and take accountability and learn from the experience for the success or failure in that scenario?

 It all has a domino effect that impacts many people "With great power comes great responsibility."
