I'm not perfect (I'll never be or ever wish to be), I have flaws, but something steady within me is that I love caring and kindness. I always seek to choose compassion over being firm.
In the words of Earl Nightingale, "success is the continued progress towards a worthy ideal."
In choosing to sit with my pain, rather than denial, I feel I created an opportunity to acknowledge what happened and identify what I was responsible for. This moment of truth, and shifting of power to oneself, can be the most significant thing to propel you to a kind of growth you've never known.
