My Favorite Quote and What it Means to Me
We are the sum total of all our experiences, good and bad. Every experience that we’ve had has shaped us into the person that we are. Every decision we make sends us down a different path and towards different experiences.
As I look back through time, I also realized that every decision my ancestors made lead to my very existence. If just one of them had made a different decision, or had not had a particular experience, I would not even be here. One of my ancestors is the second wife of a widower. What if his first wife hadn’t died? He would never have married his second wife and I would not be here. Nor would all the children born from that marriage, and their descendants. This is mind boggling! You could seriously go crazy thinking of every decision you’ve made and wondering, “What if…”
Of course, I don’t love everything that I’ve done or that has happened to me, but I like who I am. I am not perfect, but I’m a good, caring, compassionate person. I make mistakes, but I strive to learn from them and not make too many of them. I love me for me.
