Sadly, not all of us are fortunate enough to grow up in balanced households. In fact, normal these days seems to be dysfunctional. That is the world we live in. Humans at this junction in their evolution just simply are not balanced creatures. Though, while most of us have a fair amount of drama in our homes, childhood or present, some have more than others.

Most of this drama starts from birth. We all crave the love and attention from our parents, family and friends. But sadly, many of us don't receive what every child requires for a healthy upbringing. What we are left with is a choice. You can spend the rest of your life blaming your parents and others for what they didn't give you. You can transfer all of the pain and anguished casted upon you to someone else. Or, you can face what lies within you. You can search within your being and find out what it is that's causing the pain. While those in the past (distant or recent) may have abused you, physically or emotionally, the residual pain is by your own perpetuation.

What happened to you was not your fault, but it is your responsibility to move on. As brutal as this may sound, as unfair as it may be to leave you with the repercussions of someone else's ignorance and cruelty, you have only two options. You can let the past rule you for the rest of your life or you can take charge (responsibility) in your life and change the way you interact with world.

The choice is yours!
