GLORIES, FOLLIES, AND REFLECTIONS

Friday, December 4, 2020
 
The challenging part of self-empowerment is there is nobody else to blame or credit because it’s all up to our own determination. Something you’ve not done, but should have done, cannot be forgotten, but it can be fixed, feted, or forgiven.
 
Something you’ve done cannot be undone or untangled …
 
It can, however, be reappraised, reexamined, reiterated, or entirely revoked.
 
These thoughts have been rattling around in my head lately – the questions are hardly new or unique to me or anyone of any age. We are a product of where we’ve been, how we were raised, and everything that has happened to us – and we cannot undo any of that, or any of our deeds. That said, we are not paralyzed, categorized, or limited by any of that … unless we let it be that way.
