Starting life over is something we must do every second. We must not wait until we want to start over because at that point wanting to start life over is only our futile wish to avoid what has already happened. We are tied to whatever we avoid, so trying to start our life over because we want to get away from our sad-self — or the sorry situations it has created — is like leaping onto a sinking ship to get off of a collapsing dock. Clearly, this is the way to go under, not to start over. But there is a way.

What if we could rid ourselves of all held claims of grievance against any person, place, or thing? What if we ripped up those “IOUs” we’ve been writing to keep track of who has and has not made satisfactory amends for perceived wrongs?

I grew up in a three-family house in Brooklyn. When I was a teenager a family moved into the apartment below ours. The parents, Sam and Betty (these are pseudonyms), were both Holocaust survivors who met in the United States following World War II. They had one child, a son, who was several years younger than I was. A quick glance at the arms of each parent bore witness to their having been in a Nazi death camp. A sequence of numbers had been tattooed into their skin. The Nazis attempted to deprive millions of their identity and humanity by replacing names with numbers.

I apologize for abusing you with toxic food, over-eating, workaholism. I wanted you drained and deadened so that I couldn’t feel you. If I enlivened you, I felt my emotions more strongly and my pain emerged. If I numbed you, my memories remained buried. Yet another self-distraction technique. I am sorry for those acts of misplaced aggression. I couldn’t hold you safe because I had never been held safe. I had to first forge self-love in the fires of life.

Lately, I have been having conversations with people who have read Soulshaping. The theme that emerges most often in these talks is that of shame. Something about the depth of self-admission in the book seems to trigger it. Some celebrate that self-revealing. Some are uncomfortable with it. Some are reminded of their own shame and want to head for the hills.

What can you do when you have the heavy feeling of failure in your heart? It’s not always so easy.

It the classic movie, “On the Waterfront,” Marlon Brando laments to Rod Steiger in the backseat of a Buick, “I coulda been a contender. I coulda been somebody.” How often have we mentally driven down that road only to come to a roundabout of regret we can’t escape?

Holding on to pain and resentment brings you endless grief. Forgiveness is totally selfish as you are the one who benefits the most

What if?….are two powerful words that set our minds abuzz with possibility. Sometimes we use them to our benefit, creating options that open entire worlds to us. Other times, we limit ourselves by adding on two additional words that can sabotage our success and forward movement….if only….that have a wistful feeling to them.

VividLife Radio’s Edie Weinstein reflects on her conversation with Jon Satin and Chris Pattay in The Heart Speaks The Truth…

This week’s poem is also about rest, the deeper sense of what we rest in. The way a cup rests in a saucer, how does each soul find the point of rest it fits in? How do we discover the sense of safety and faith in life that allows each of us to find our way with more peace than fear?

Most people think diets work and that it is the dieters who “don’t work.”, David Bedrick’s research shows us different…
