Recognize the past for what it is. Declare to yourself and others that you are choosing to leave the past behind!

The past is a series of experiences that we remember in our own way (our own created realities). We can let the past define us and rule our future with thoughts like: “I guess that is just Who I am” or we can CHOOSE to show up differently right now and every now that follows. Then who would we be?

I had a very successful run (30 years) of being “quick witted” with my “biting sarcasm”.” I could hold my own or better anyone when I felt called upon to do so. I was a master of shutting others down. 

Ha! Do not dare to match me as I am superior and me crushing you will be your lesson for confronting me. You are welcome, I dismiss you now. I could be mean.

YIKES is all I could muster when I realized what I was doing and how to some I was known. ICK!

After a big realization and bit of reflection I was convinced that that is NOT how I wanted to be known and NOT how I would choose to show up any longer.

Next question: How do I want to be known?

Next action: Do stuff where I show up that way.

Realizing what I had being doing and accepting that it was my choice required me to take responsibility for ALL of my actions. Oddly enough only after taking responsibility did I gain the feeling of empowerment an empowerment to choose kindness.

How are you known?

How do you want to be known?

Start now and change your life forever.
