Don’t be ashamed of what you have done, it’s all part of life, but do acknowledge everything to yourself. Be honest; leave no stone unturned so that you may know yourself fully. Accept who you are with an open heart, who you are now and who you have been, but keep an open channel to who you will become. Plant a seed of a new you and pull yourself forward one day, one act, one idea at a time toward that new you. You can do it. Without shame or blame, without regret or resentment, but with honesty, know your truth. And then, without fear, let yourself become all that you are capable of. Don’t hold back. The world needs you and what you offer. You know what the old you would do, but what would the new you do? Begin there.
