My experience with the workshops has been eye opening and life changing. I walked into my first workshop very hurt and in denial. I was comfortable pretending to be happy and feeling my emotions where no one could see them, comfortably numb that is. I had a lot of friends, but I isolated myself from them and felt lonely. I longed so badly for the people around me to change, namely those who had hurt me. Whatever situations the world threw at me, I felt I constantly had to defend myself.
After completing Parts 1 and 2 of the workshop [trilogy], I am now an offensive player. I realized many important things about myself that have allowed me to take full charge of my life. I no longer need the people or the situations around me to change because I myself have changed. The world is a beautiful place and I am an integral part of it. I am capable of doing AMAZING things with my life ahead. I know that my abundance and strength will never fail me.
Last fall, I moved away from my friends and family at home to begin at a college where I knew no one. The old me saw many opportunities to be left out and defeated but the new me tackled the situation from a place of love. My college experience has been incredible so far and I am proud of myself for building the healthy relationships that I have.
Thank you, Soltura, for presenting me with the tools I needed to improve my life! I can't wait for Part 3 [of the trilogy]!
