@partnersincare.... You're right. If we have a great foundation early on, it it certainly much easier to have a positive outlook later in life. But, I don't personally think we're wholly defined by our childhood experiences. I know some people who suffered through horrific childhoods and some are among the most dynamic, joyful individuals you'll find - others, not so much. The difference? Some made a choice not to live in the shadow of the past but move forward. Those found or rather created a new foundation and live joyful lives. The others continue to live in the past and are miserable. It's so sad and such a waste.
I see you're new to Empowher - WELCOME! I hope you come back and post often. It's the dialogues that make the site the most interesting - and sometimes helpful - of all! Kind regards, Mary
