Some people will just sit on the old roots and rot.
I understand the desire to do so - but it isn't helpful to dwell. Learn and move on.
I do wonder if the impact I have in this world is positive or not.
Sometimes, looking back and reflecting is just not worth the effort.
I know your impadct here is positive. Looking forward to reading and being challenged by your posts daily. It has helped me become a more reflective person, to challenge my own thinking, and just be better. So you at least have a positive impact on one knuckle dragger from across the pond.
There is a song by Garth Brooks called The Dance. In it he says "I could have missed the pain, but I'd had to miss the dance."
