Lessons From Kathniel's Break Up

 Question: What are the lessons we learned from Kathniel's separation?

Answer: Just like Kathryn we should learn to accept defeat when you sense ... there is a pattern of deceit. Sobra na ... tuldukan na. Raising the white flag or retreating is not a sign of weakness ... but rather taking time out from a stressful situation. Because you value yourself ... and you feel there is no use crying over spilled milk ...  letting go is the most generous way of helping yourself and standing up for what is right.

Of course ... you can either choose to FIGHT ... or FLIGHT ... your call. But when the situation is repeated over and over again ... the cycle of abuse will continue.

Accepting defeat in this case ... is the best way to gain a new vantage point or perspective ... and learn from our mistakes.

Unfortunately ... only the mighty can bear defeat. And when you succeed ...  you can always say heads up: "My past has not defined me, destroyed me, deterred me, or defeated me; it has only strengthened me."
