“Your parents gave you a human body. After that, whether you are influenced by them, or your own judgment, is your choice.” – Sadhguru

To live a fully authentic life, we must be sure that our decisions and actions in all things are deliberate, not from habit. When it comes to negative things our parents taught us, or positive things they deprived us of, this can be a challenge.

It’s good to remember that we have the power to create the future that we want. We can let go of the emotion and hurt from the unpleasant parts of our childhood and decide to create a better life going forward.

As Melissa Etheridge said, “The legacy stops here.”
