The following is taken from an article written by Alan Cohen:
We are like the people Plato described, who live in dark cave for so long that when they finally see some light their eyes hurt and they run back into the darkness. But the darkness is not our destiny.
No matter how thick your dossier of what has gone wrong, you can start a new dossier now. All it takes is one person who is willing to see your higher possibilities. And if no one out there is doing that, let that one person be you.
Quit identifying with your difficulties, finding justifications for them, and arguing them. Become a force for your own potential. Shift your attention to what is going right and how great it could be. Take the affirmation, "I am always doing better than I think I am," for you are.
