What Happened to You; A Book for Everyone
Recently I've been obsessed with Oprah's recent book "What Happened to You." It is a book for all generations and here I'd like to discuss why. The book's sole purpose is how we should shift our attention from "what is wrong with you" to "what happened to you." and how this question is actually what makes anyone's personality.
In the book, they mention how the brain consists of different levels and how on the bottom level, the senses exist while on the top level the smartest parts of our brain are.
Forgiveness is giving up the hope that the past could have been any different. But we cannot move forward if we're still holding on to the pain of that past. All of us who have been broken and scarred by trauma have the chance to turn those experiences into what Dr. Perry and I have been talking about: post-traumatic wisdom. Forgive yourself, forgive them. Step out of your history and into the path of your future.
This is important.
