How MyCube changed my life and what I valued:
I use to be physically abused child and wife.
Usually after I received a beating, I would blame my self. Reflect on all my weak points and feel depressed for months. The anger would grow and I will take it out on the people I love, including myself.
Last year after I was beaten by my husband. I stood up from the floor and sat outside.
I found myself standing inside of the cube(MyCube) – in the value cube.
I then asked myself what can I do? What do I want to do, and what values are at this stage the most important to m?
I decided that I am not going to live like this any more. Being aggressive is not part of my personality but I do not want to walk this road again.
Financially I did not have much. Everything was invested in his name. Even my friends were not mine alone. I had no one to turn to.
So I stood up and confronted my husband saying “… you have 2 choices, you either leave my house now or I go to the police. You can come back when you have fixed this. I will decide when it is fixed…”
It took many months for us to reconcile. I know this; God and me sticking to what is valuable to me, brought upon the change in my life.
