As I've been on the journey to figure out my passions and the plans God has for me, I have come full circle to the concept of making corrections within my bloodline.
While I know that I can never change what has been done or the impacts it had on me growing up, I can recognize that those circumstances existed and how they impacted me.
This is where self-awareness makes a breakthrough. And I'm either able to remain the same and continue the negative character defects that I was raised with, or I can make a concerted effort to change and make a positive impact on my kids and whoever else I come around, no longer continuing generational toxicity. I am now essentially part of the solution, no longer part of the problem.
What has held me back is the concept of pride. To say that my upbringing was wrong or traumatizing seemed disrespectful to my culture and lineage. But I bear no negative feelings towards it or them, as I am fully confident that they did the very best they knew how to do. I am responsible, however, for choosing my own path. The bottom line is that now that I know better, I must do better.
Today, I choose to shift the wind in the sail for the next generations... Oh, the places we will go! πππ«ππππ
