Doing a bit of reflective thinking

I stumbled upon a quote at FB by Eckhart Tolle that said something to the effect of Stay in the present, that is where your power and joy lives. That in the past is our *story* and that is not who we are.🙂 I can intellectually understand the view that we are not a simple story that occurred..even though it's veryyyyy hard putting it into practice. I know I went through horrible and awful trauma, and that often DOES make you IDENTIFY with the event, or abuse etc .

But then I thought about the view subsequently of myself , low, dumb, broken or shattered etc. EVEN THAT is a story still!! If I could start to really comprehend that I'm not some low worthless being due to trauma. I'm a human and might do some things differently than others but hey, I'm alive🌺And that broken is a sad word AND even if I FEEL unworthy, it's still a STORY ..NOT me 🪻
