We often look to others to feel safe, seen, and understood. Yet, we find the most lasting peace comes from within. You need to be in your own safe space. This is the space where you treat yourself with kindness, listening without judgment, and creating room to feel what you feel.
It means being honest about your needs and permitting yourself to meet them. Ask yourself: “What would I offer a friend in this moment?” Then offer that to yourself.
You don’t have to wait for someone else to affirm your worth. You already have the power to comfort, encourage, and stand by yourself. That’s a deep kind of resilience.

A retired Air Force Master Sergeant, Mike used to lay in bed at night and worry about what would happen if his plant closed or found himself without a job. One day his plant closed. Rather than panic and hysteria (OK, maybe a little) Mike found himself carried away on the adventure of his life. Mike started with the best job he ever had working at Home Depot. He spent 8 years working with job seekers at a local workforce center, helping them to find employment. He then started his own company developing courses, writing books and urging others to follow their own paths into the future.
Mike holds a Master of Arts in Adult Education and Training and a Bachelor of Business Management, earned through the University of Phoenix and an AAS degree in Electronics Systems Technology from the Community College of the Air Force. Mike is a member of the Delta Mu Delta Business Honor Society.
