Lesson 31: Parents and Children - Slide 24
Your Parents Neither
Define Nor Defeat You
- Whatever they did or didn’t do for you is only part of the reason you became the person you are
- Your parents are imperfect
- Learn from their mistakes and their successes
- Bury your fantasy parents and make peace with your real ones
- You won’t succeed because you had good parents or bad parents, you will make it because you push yourself
- Regardless of your parents, you are a wholly different being, responsible only to yourself
for what you are and will become
