These show notes might not exactly go word for word with my episode, but all of this information is very helpful. I've seen (and done myself) get angry and what other people do, because I believe they shouldn't treat me that way. What I have learned is that you have no control over what people are going to do, how their going to do it, and why they do it.

The best thing to do is not take everything so personal. A lot of times (I have found) is that people aren't mad at you, they are mad at themselves and don't want to take responsibility for their actions. Or your doing something that helps you and they think you should be honoring them.

Instead of sticking around (especially if it brings your happiness down) leave, I don't care if it's a long time friend, family member or what, your happiness should come first. You can't help other's if your not happy. 

What you say to yourself, determines how you treat yourself. How you treat yourself, determines how you treat others. 

Learn to treat yourself better and better people will be attracted to you. You won't have time for fake people and things. You will seek the best of everything and you will find it. 

This goes hand in hand with getting your VA benefits, you earned them. Claim what is your's and do something that will bring happiness. Before you know it you will be happier and enjoy life more.
