Sometimes we wouldn’t know a negative influence if it hit us in face, but our gut instincts knows it’s there. That nagging, gut-wrenching pain in our stomach is a sure sign that someone around you is zapping your resources, pride and energy. Eliminate negative influence from your life to allow positive influences to come in. Kelly, as hard as it was for her to do, left her husband. Two months later, Kelly holds her head high. It’s a rough road at first, but it gets easier with each baby step you take towards self-fulfillment. It worked for Kelly and it will work for you, too.

Love yourself so that others can love you, too.

Kelly learned that day that loving herself was key that opened door to happiness. No longer did she look in mirror and have two black eyes staring back at her, but instead she saw a glowing face full of energy and vibrateness. Kelly saw person she used to be and continues to work on keeping that happy, smiling face staring back at her each and every morning. Sure, there will be days when smile starts to turn downwards and that’s when she realizes that there is something going on that needs improving and works towards conquering it instead of ignoring it. Each time she conquers these negativities, it empowers her and makes her even more stronger.

Believe in miracles.

Lastly, when you are at your lowest and there seems to be no strength left, there is only one thing left that you can do and that is have faith in yourself. Reach down inside yourself and find spirit within you. That spirit can bounce back just as easy as it can be crushed. Remember miracles happen every day, but miracle inside of you is your spirit that is everlasting. Kelly found her spirit that day. Her walk is faster and her smile is wider. She realized that it wasn’t what was on outside that mattered; it was what was on inside. Kelly is now filled with love and joy, instead of bitterness, sorrow and hate.

The bottom line is, how can we prevent from becoming a statistic? What can we do to protect ourselves from this kind of treatment?

The answer lies within ourselves, but we can't find answers nor strength if we are constantly told that we are worthless. What we have to do is get away from source of critisism and envelope ourselves with love from others. With this outpouring of love will come nothing but encouragement. And what happens is, your brain is tricked into thinking that you are good, you are great, you are strong, until you finally have tackled biggest obstacle--finding out that you are worthy of being treated as a queen. For, you are a queen. Once your brain registers this, you slowly climb out of mindset that no one will love you or you're good for nothing.

It's a hard pill to swallow and will take work, but once you realize that, you will find that no one will ever touch you again. Allowing this kind of behavior will become unacceptable and those around you will realize this, too. Your mannerisms, way you hold your head high, all of this helps you to realize your full potential. You are a queen in your own right and no one can take that from you.

This article on domestic abuse is a little different from normal soul mate articles I write, but, on other hand, it has a lot to do with soul mates. Once you stand up for yourself and declare truce with your inner demons telling you that you are worthless and that you can’t make it in world on your own, you will discover a new you. This new you will attract soul mates from near and far.

A Capricorn child will do well in a secure environment with regular routine and reliable, appreciative parents. Young Capricorns can also lose self-confidence easily despite their maturity. They should be taught how to express their very sensitive inner emotions and how to relax, because Capricorns are natural worriers.

Capricorn babies can be prone to illness, although this improves with age.
