Somewhere along the line of development we discover what we really are, and then we make our real decision for which we are responsible. - Eleanor Roosevelt.
Many of us have begun to reexamine our lives and our values. Am I proud of how I act? Of what I do? Will this decision be in my best interest? Do I have strong, interacting relationships?
A likely result of this examination might be that we fool ourselves less now and that we don’t try to fool others. The discovery of what we really are and of what is important to us urges us toward greater honesty. We are freer to make amends to friends and family members for things we’ve said or done. We hesitate less in asking for help and in telling others when we feel wronged. Best of all, we’ve rid ourselves of our old victim mentality and have taken responsibility for our lives.
I will begin happily to make responsible decisions today.
