Abuse Quote by Wayne Dyer

Now [as an adult] you have to make a choice and recognize that even the abuse that came into your life offers you an opportunity to transcend it, to become a better person and even more…” quote by Wayne Dyer](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/fc2/wayne-dyer-158_abuse_while-you-were-four-you-didn-t-know-anyt_820895.jpg)
“While you were four, you didn't know anything other than being terrified and scared; you're not four any longer.
