When we begin not to care and consciously take the emotions away from a particular person or issue, we take away the element of struggle. The reason why we struggle and continue to struggle, is because we continue to carry the emotions that attach us to that particular issue or person.
When we stop caring emotionally, we give ourselves the ammunition to readily address whatever we happen to be dealing …

We all have the ability to learn, adapt and find new ways to move forward, or we can choose to do none of those. Our mentality and fixed ways of thinking will always play its part in our outlook …

Through our own struggles and through our children’s success, there will always be those gentle reminders that serve to reinforce our own lack of success. Through our vision for our children, those reminders will stir up negative thoughts on what we didn’t go on to achieve.
So how do we move on so that we don’t go back to negative thoughts about our own accomplishments? I believe to do that we must learn and come to understand why things didn’t happen …
