It is impossible to pretend that you are not heir to, and therefore, however inadequately or unwillingly, responsible to, and for, the time and place that give you life.

-James Baldwin

We each come into this life to learn, relearn or unlearn something we need to know.   As difficult as it may be to accept, we choose the exact circumstances into which we were born.  Whether it is poverty, abandonment, abuse, rejection or disease, our deepest self knows the lessons we must learn.  Our mind chooses the path.  Life's lessons are few:  peace, freedom, strength, justice, faith and love.  All the answers you need are buried within you.  For just a moment let go of the anger, fear, guilt, shame and blame.  Focus all of your attention on the center of your being and ask yourself, "What is it that I must learn?"  The longer you ask, the more sincere you are to know, the faster your answers will come.

I Am willing to take full responsibility for me.
