Being a "grown ass adult" doesn't necessarily mean the past doesn't linger for many. Bigger emotional reactions than perhaps are warranted can be long shadows cast from the past, disrupting your relationships and inner peace. This is the heart of my work with individuals and couples...and personally over my lifetime. ❤️

Yes.

It takes humility to admit you could be wrong about yourself. About your limits. About the future. Pride whispers that you’re already doing all you can — that growth is for other people, or that you’re too damaged to change. It’s a lie. Your problems, your past, your pain? They’re not more powerful than your willingness to grow. Being humble enough to allow for possibility — to say “maybe I could do better, maybe there’s more in me” — opens the door to every good thing God wants to build in your life. Don’t shut that door before you even try.

"Suffering is not all bad. It can have a therapeutic power. It can help us open our eyes. Once we start facing the suffering within us we shall want to search for its cause, which means finding out what we have been feeding ourselves, what kinds of nutriments we are consuming that have brought about our suffering. We also want to find out the causes of the suffering in our society, but with this we need to be careful and exercise moderation. Being overwhelmed by too much suffering can destroy our capacity to love or to take appropriate action. We have to know our limits and find a healthy balance between being in touch with what is terrible in life and what is wonderful. We need to know how to water the good, positive seeds within us so we can bear the more distressing things."
-Thich Nhat Hanh, "Interbeing"
