The Choice: Embrace the Possible by Edith Eva Eger

emotional

“…the worst moments in our lives, the moments that set spinning with ugly desires, that threaten to unglue us with the sheer impossibility of the pain we must endure, are in fact the moments that bring us to understand our worth. It’s as if we become aware of ourselves as bridge between all that’s been and all that will be. We become aware of all we’ve recieved and what we can choose — or choose not — to perpetuate. It’s like vertigo, thrilling and terrifying, the past and future surrounding us like a vast but traversable canyon. Small as we are in the big scheme of universe and time, each of us is a little mechanism that keeps the whole wheel spinning. And what will we power with the wheel of our own life? Will we keep pushing the same piston of loss and regret? Will we reengage and reenact all the hurts from the past? Will we abondon the people we love as a consequence of our own abondonment? Will we make our children pick up the tab for our losses? Or will we take the best of what we know and let a new crop flourish from the field of life?”
