TODAY’ LIFE LESSON: shares an intimate story about life and how we live it. There are various versions of our story that we hold onto that create a challenging life for ourselves and those that we love. The past is designed to tell his-tory where we remember the details of what happened to us and how it affected us. In order to move on and grow past these events, we must delve into the current way we feel about the past.
That would be her-story that continues to hold onto the past by reliving the feelings and emotions that our experience created. These feelings are very demanding in the way they require us to explain, excuse or justify ourselves to the world we live in. Letting go of these intense feelings can take a lot of courage but in the end it is what sets us free to carry on and grow up.
Then there is the unresolved mys-teries where we are not sure where it all began, what really happened, or even if it was the way remembered it or not. Sometimes when we constantly review the past, we alter it to accommodate what we thought it meant, or what we needed it to be to support our judgments and fears. The further we get from the truth, the deeper we go into denial.
HIS-STORY= memories of the past that hold us prisoner
HER-STORY= feelings from the pst that keep us limited
MY-STORY= mysterious truths that must be discovered to complete the lesson
