As teenagers, most of us suffer tremendous humiliation, shame and anguish as we try desperately to stand out and at the same time not be different. As we make our way in the world, we get so caught up in the hierarchy of competition and comparison, equating self-worth with net worth, that it's hard to escape feelings of shame, inadequacy and regret. It's also in adulthood that we start to experience losses more frequently, including divorce and the death of loved ones. Making Peace With Your Past deals with all unresolved experiences that rob us of love and joy in the present, whether they happened on the day of our birth or yesterday. This book represents a wonderful opportunity to lighten your load and bring joy and enthusiasm back into your life.
Most people are concerned with the future.
There's a big difference between looking back to heal the past and dwelling on it endlessly and obsessively. The impulse to leave the past behind is admirable if it means living fully in the present. But if the past is not completely digested, it continues to live inside of us. This robs us of our freedom. When you make peace with the past, you free your life energy to enjoy the present and build a more fulfilling future.
