12. Let Go of the Past

  1. Disturbing impulses of resentment, depression, addiction, or paralyzing fear are momentary evidence of living in the past.

  2. In resentment we become the voice of our past oppressors, perpetuating cycles of emotional violence.

  3. In depression we become the hand of our loved ones pushing us away, perpetuating the cycles of icy temperaments.

  4. In addiction we numb the grieving of past loss, perpetuating the cycles of failure.

  5. In resisting risk through paralyzing fear, we shelter the child from past wounds, perpetuating unpreparedness.

  6. Love begins when impulsiveness is met by one who is awake, on-guard & consciously choosing to let go of the past.
