It’s coming to understand that we are not our past. We need not live in it nor dwell upon it. It need not shackle, define, or color our present or future experiences, let alone dictate future outcomes or our self-perception about who we are or what we are capable of. It’s about embracing the idea that each moment provides an opportunity to tell a new story about ourselves. It’s an opportunity to free ourselves from the prison of our past and the vicious cycle that propels that past into our present and future experiences. It’s an opportunity to quite literally be reborn.
