As do we all, no matter how bad we think our youth was, it was most certainly better than someone else. And why should we let all of that hold our future hostage? I can safely assume that all of us reading this today are adults. The time to be a kid has passed; now it's time to decide the kind of person you want to be and how you want to enjoy life. All the possibilities that life has to offer are open to you. Yes, even those who consider their life smaller because of a handicap or disability. The number of opportunities vs. the number you think you can't are overwhelming.
"So, I give the good I want. 99% of the time, it’s never returned. But when I need it, life opens a door for me. I get what I need. It’s my responsibility to earn what I want from life." Wise words. I agree. Hugs
Annelise - thank you for sharing your story and conveying that no matter what has happened to us in this journey we call life we can still find ways to improve our mindsets and quality of living therein. To move towards less pain and suffering is a requirement in life should we want to flourish and yet there is no blueprint, no guidebook no rules to live by that we are given when we are born.
Thank you for showing many how to think about their suffering and that there are always different paths of life should yours be less than adequate.
I always say I learned how NOT to think and behave from my mother's example. I was angry and resentful toward her for years. Now, thank God, I feel only compassion. Which allows the love to emerge. At last.
