We are all a combination of our experiences of the past.
And that includes all the people in our past.
All the people who supported us, loved us, nurtured us…
And all the people who hurt us, were cruel to us, betrayed us…
They all contributed to who we are today.
So be grateful for them, for all of them.
“Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned.” Buddha
To all the people who have touched my life in any way, thank you.
Our lives are filled with paths that we have seduced ourselves into believing are impossible for us to take.
A while ago I encouraged my daughter Zara not to listen to a friend who wanted her to do something that she didn’t feel good about.
When we focus on a past that we don’t like, we are living in a state where we are hoping an imaginary future will heal a non-existent past.
Recently I was in a situation that wasn’t what I wanted, but there wasn’t anything I could do to change it.
If you fill up every area of your life with little regard for the quality of what you’re filling it with, there’s not much room left.
