I believe in second chances in life. It's an opportunity to grow beyond your past failures. It's about positively adjusting your attitude towards future possibilities. I recently read a passage that said, "Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending." The quote is from an author, Maria Robinson, who has written books about child development.
We all are born with a new beginning. From the moment our newborn self comes into this world, it is the only true "new" beginning. I have also been reading a book, What Happened to You?, written by Oprah Winfrey and Bruce D. Perry, M.D., Ph.D. It is very interesting to learn about how trauma affects our brain.
We can't change trauma that happens to us but we can learn how to recognize it and work towards coping with how to handle our past and move forward with healing and resilience.
