Any one of us can drop our story and begin to create our own consciously, deliberately. We have each been offered our beliefs and attitudes as children but as adults we come to know (at least some of us do) that we can consciously change ourselves in any way we choose, drop the scripts we have been given and create our own. The first step, ofcourse is knowing that we can actually do this. Thanks I agree Miguel, your past is nothing but your story, the only place it exists is in your head.

For me, spending too much time on "mulling over" the past takes away from me moving forward and being productive...it takes away from the time I want to spend creating the life I want to live. I like the idea of looking at your past as a story because that gives me more confidence in how I want the rest of the story, and the ending, to be. Thanks, -RY Hi Miguel,

Putting the past (whatever that was) in perspective can take decades, unfortunately. But seeing it as a point on a line that directs you toward better, smarter behavior patterns marks it as not only a necessary link, but an inevitable one for you to be that unique you we're forever talking about. Oh, and everyone likes us vulnerable, by the way. Very nice thoughts and I agree. Putting the past (whatever that was) in perspective can take decades, unfortunately.
