Read along with the original article(s) here: Quotes to ponder: "You don’t need to prove anything to someone else, but prove yourself wrong and learn to set higher expectations. Most people who have been sidetracked have allowed low expectations from someone else to come into their own life somewhere." "What happened wasn’t OK, but bitterness will end up hurting you even more. Recovery is always a good time to look at what you’re doing and determine if you are finding fulfillment through it." "Often the people who have been hurt the most are the ones who go on to true greatness. They’ve seen the other side, and they’ll do anything to make something better for themselves and those around them." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
