Reflections

Sometimes when I speak with others about past events, I find that I have minimized the impact or the seriousness of the events I’ve passed through. Almost like I feel they aren’t even that important or that they haven’t shaped the entire course of my life. I wonder why that is.

It reminds me of something Dr. David Burns once discussed on his Ted talk. Where he was counselling a woman, and she was so depressed because she felt as though she had accomplished nothing in her short time on the planet. Yet, in truth, she had raised a family, successfully completed a couple of doctorates and yet here she was at the point of being suicidal. Now, I’m not suicidal, nor do I struggle with depression, but I think it may be a good reminder to myself that when I get stuck in a bit of a rut, my success rate for getting out of that rut is 100%.

I probably have more to say on this, but for now, I’m just going to leave it as is.
