People may have the very best intentions, but we get hurt regardless. At least I do.
Since children’s books are the only pieces of literature I read anymore (besides Beyond Blue, for grammatical errors), I got this little bit of wisdom from Dr. Wayne Dyer’s children’s book, “Incredible You! 10 Ways to Let Your Greatness Shine Through,” which is the CliffsNotes version of his bestseller (which I don’t have time to read), “10 Secrets for Success and Inner Peace.”

I apologize for my oversimplifications as of late (all my children’s books and trite sayings), but what did you expect from a gal who barely broke 1,000 on her SATs?
Number Seven: Take Care of Yourself

If something or someone makes you feel bad,
don’t let it ruin your day by making you sad.
Let go of the hurt and take care of you.
You can’t control what others say or do.
