TO HOLD NO GRUDGES…..

There is an expression….someone’s got "too much baggage."  This refers to people who walk around carrying a lifeteime of grudges with them, and because their feet are so firmly planted in the past they are immobilized in the present.

As far as families are concerned, dysfunction is the norm.  Not having the perfect upbringing is no longer an excuse to refrain from living as a functional person.  There are too many people who were raised in squalor and became rich or were told they were stupid, then went on to run a Fortune 500 company.  The majority of models were called ugly when growing up but still pursued a career in that industry.  There are people who were abused, abandoned, and unloved yet they still go on to be the best they can be.

Remember you are not the sum of your experiences, you are the sum of the decisions you make based on those experiences.
