Who we were yesterday doesn't have to be who we are today. We have the opportunity to learn from our experiences. If we can stop and assess our responses to these questions:
1. who we were being and why
2. did it work for us then
3. does it work for us now
We can make new choices in the now - since that's what each moment is all about - making choices as to how we want to be in this world.
I've recently come to grips with how I was being in the past - most all of my life, in fact. It worked for me then, helped keep me isolated, non-trusting of others, high walls which few people could get over, and even then, only for a short time before the walls would again become impenetrable. It's not that we have to give our trust out unconditionally; it's really more assessing how much trust we can give each person we meet.
And when we meet that person with whom we feel safe letting down the walls....my, what a magical moment in time.
