Your past does not determine your future, and trauma is an illusion we create to justify our current choices. True freedom begins the moment you stop seeking the approval of others.
Rather than being shaped by past traumas, human beings manufacture their current emotions and behaviors to achieve hidden present goals.
Every psychological and emotional struggle ultimately stems from interpersonal relationship conflicts and the toxic desire to compete with others.
You can dramatically reduce your suffering by identifying who ultimately bears the consequences of an action and refusing to intervene in tasks that belong to someone else.
