Something to Think About: Change your past with a different lens
Dr. Amit Sood says, "The past can be changed, by looking at it with a different lens."
Dear friend,
I was born with a biological instruction manual that is stored in the six-foot-long DNA, tightly packaged in the nucleus of my microscopic cells. Most of the pages in this manual explain survival and safety procedures. Now that I have lived for nearly five decades, my thoughts and experiences have edited this manual and created a second version—one tweaked to provide greater peace and happiness without jeopardizing survival or safety. I wish I had had this revised version several decades ago. I wish I could relive my past using some of the skills I now have learned. I can’t. I do, however, have a choice.
May your hope and excitement for the future more than offset your regrets and hurts for the past.
Take care.
Amit
