YOUR SHORT-TERM DISADVANTAGE IS YOUR LONG-TERM ADVANTAGE

If you’re trying to come clean and be accommodating to someone who’s not providing an equal energy exchange – it’s because you’re seeing yourself in the situation at a disadvantage. Even if you realize it’s been too late to reverse your actions after you realize someone has taken advantage of you, and it’s resulted in you losing that battle – remember you have an advantage they don’t have.

They may have exposed themselves under a bad light, but at least you’re exposed under a good light.
They may have stolen something from your life, but at least you’re still in possession of how you live your life.
They may have profited temporarily at your expense, but at least you can profit from the learning of that expense.

Remember your short term disadvantage will always be your long term advantage, because even though you may have lost something of high-value in the process as a consequence of them, you have also received something of much greater value that they never will get – wisdom.
