Perfectly Flawed
Perfectly Flawed “To live well in the present requires a healthy approach to the past.” - Unknown How do we do that? We can go to how many therapy sessions a week? Read how many self help books? But let’s be honest…until you completely and I mean completely surrender and let God have control, you will not live well in the present and have a healthy approach to the past. In Shakespeare’s play, The Tempest, the character Antonio says the following: “We are sea-swallow’d, though some cast again , And by that destiny to perform an act Whereof what’s past is prologue, what to come In yours and my discharge.” I believe what Antonio is saying is while what is past is prologue to all that we do in our lives, what we do with our lives is our responsibility. We have no choice about what has come before us, but we do have the choice to reflect on and act wisely in the future despite whatever may have happened in our lives before this point.
