The secrets to happiness: #5

#5: Own your own baggage

To come to a place where we are even aware of what we hold on to from our past is not easy at all.

I think of it like peeling an onion. The closer you get to the source, the harder the work becomes as you fight to control the tears. As the layers keep coming off and we are faced with our own truths, our own realities, we don't often like what we see. There is always tempatation to look for the easy way out which usually means we aint dealing with jack!

It takes courage to work through your own issues and backbone to persevere because we know that going to the source means pain, but without it there is no road to healing.

Sadly some may never feel the need to take that journey and it is they who will continue to manipulate and punish others unfairly for their own past hurts.


Tip: Start peeling those onions!
