When we grow up with the feeling of struggle, or we feel our parents struggle, we can\u2019t just be kids. We can\u2019t completely relax. So, in our adult relationships, we look for relief.

Other people can help us heal and can be amazing sources of support but no one can save us from ourselves. We can rely on people to hold space for us and they can be amazing support systems. But if we are always looking to someone else to fill a void, save us, help us, or end our struggles, then we never really embody the knowing that we can fill that void, or deal with that struggle ourselves. It is super empowering to know we can do that ourselves and know we don\u2019t need to rely on someone else for love, stability, or safety.

The answers are never outside of ourselves. They are always found within.

Consider/Ask Yourself:
- Are you going through a change that you didn\u2019t want and you\u2019re having a hard time with it? Did you grow up struggling or was your family struggling, particularly your parents, and you find yourself struggling in life?
- Are you afraid you manifested \u201cbad\u201d things in life?
- Do you ever become someone that you\u2019re not in order to get love?
