Love it. This made me think of when I took a weekend retreat with the Landmark Forum (highly recommend it) They taught that we can begin our lives, start new at any time. Anything from the past that prevents us from realizing our goals today can be forgotten and overcome. It takes some work, but they recommend you start with seeing/imagining yourself in the place you want to be, say owning your own business, then go backward. What steps did you take to get there. Then do them. You see if you lay out the steps backward it's like doing something without a past. You don't have the past interfering. It's like being born again. No excuses.
Now we've laid out our plan, backwards, but some of us may still have that thing in our past that prevents us from making the steps. Example- say when you were age 10 you mentioned to someone you really looked up to, an authority figure or confidant or friend that you wanted to have your own business one day and that person said something like "What!!?? That's too hard, you're not smart enough, you're a girl, your--- fill in the blank--." Whether we realize it or not that one moment in time can subconsciously derail us from a dream. Add to that the fact that if it was said once it was probably said many times, maybe in different ways, but said.
Or being from divorced parents affects a kids development. It says so in all the psychology books. Reading that in school and believing it strongly will hinder success. So we work to find that moment, that incident, that belief and eliminate it's power and be born again. A process too lengthy to go into here.
But you don't have to go thru a process really - as Buddha says- what we do today matters most. So even without that process, wake up today and be born again. Believe that can happen, starting new can happen, as much as you believed what someone told you or you read years ago.
