Whether you made a mistake yesterday, or had something terrible happen to you as a child, you are not your past.
You carry the weight of that mistake with you. You carry the memory of what may have been done to you.
But it is not you.
You can choose differently.
You can choose a different attitude, a different direction. You can choose to learn and grow. You can choose to ask questions, to read books, to find a mentor or to seek guidance.
Or you choose to let it take you down. You can let it destroy you.
Every moment of every day you are faced with choices to discover new meaning, or to go about life as you always have. Regardless of your past, regardless of what you have endured or what you have struggled through, life always gives you choices.
How will you choose today?
I talk about the idea “you are not your past” in “The Basics” of my course The Meaning Project: Logotherapy & The Psychology of Meaning.
