You Own Your Life, #654
b'In this episode, we get to a fundamental truth that is at the heart of the forgiveness journey. While we may sometimes feel powerless, the truth is that we are the architect of our lives. We alone control everything we experience. That is true even though things happen we did not ask for or want.\\n\\nWe don\\u2019t control the weather, but we choose how we react to it. Whether you are the victim or the perpetrator, the event is past and you choose how to interpret and deal with it. You can live in self-loathing for your mistakes or forgive yourself and grow. You can hold eternal anger toward your perpetrator, or you can forgive them and end the power of the past event over your life.'
