This is my favorite lesson I am sharing with you, and speaking in terms of not becoming a victim of your past experiences and the things you saw, but deciding to refuse the same treatment or situation and breaking away from self pity to determination and dedication. If you grow up watching your father or mother abuse your family pet or a younger sibling and you absolutely become consumed by emotions and become depressed and withdrawl from life entirely, do you think you will grow up and remain entrapped by those child hood emotions and memories, or do you think you will Refuse to allow your happiness and success in life to be suffocated the same way your parents suffocated your childhood. Some times children grow up and are completely capable of letting go, and in turn dedicate the remainder of their life to the rescue and care of abused and abandoned animals. If you allow your self to dwell in the past by re-living the episodes of abuse over and over than your giving the power to the thing that will ultimately rob your happiness and your chance of living life free of addiction and depression. I've said it before but once you give in to that "I'm a victim of my circumstance" and "It's not my fault" kind of attitude, than you can just about expect a life full of misery, loneliness addiction and depression. It's up to you to "Choose to Refuse" to be a victim of circumstance and rise above your trials and hard ships and make an example out of a past you survived. Show people that it is possible to endor a beginning that almost destroyed you and come out with a future most only dream about.
