How do you deal with the shame of your past?

The regrets?

The humiliations?

It all has to do with the story you tell yourself.

You can say that your past experiences have forever ruined you. That your life wasn’t supposed to be this way. That you were wronged.

Or, you can say that your past experiences have given you unique perspectives. That your life is beautifully imperfect. That you’ve had inflection points, but that you are stronger for having survived them, better for having experienced them, and that the very best days are yet to come.

Whichever story you tell yourself... you’ll be right.
