Never say never, after all what do you know?
I often wonder at the absolutes we use to describe our lives, how we perceive and define our realities. ”I will never get a good education. We have no money at home. I’ll never forgive you for what you did to me. I’ll never accept that in my life.” These absolutes have a way of forever defining how we think. They define the parameters with which we live our lives. What they also do is to give us a very misguided idea that we are somehow in control of the possibilities that life presents us. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t me to discredit the value of setting goals, having a clear plan to achieve those goals. By all means, plan away, after all dreaming big, wanting more and wanting better for yourself is the gift of intelligence. It’s the human condition. That very condition unfortunately is also the reason we try to define our lives with limitation and absolutes. Okay so what is the point of this?
