the people you are holding hostage in your mind. What can these prisoners of your mind do? Nothing! Only you are free to create the happy life you wish for. Don’t wait for them to give you a better life. You are not a child under parental guardianship anymore. For much of your life, you did not have much power over your own life. That power belonged to your parents, teachers, and other authorities. But now you are an adult. Those people only have as much power over you as you give them. It is time to release those who shaped your life. It is time for you to take full responsibility for your own life. Take control of your life and make it what you want it to be. Let all those people you used to blame and resent out of the car. Take the driver’s seat and take the next exit. You are free to follow your life path and be happy. Depending on the depth of hurt you have in your heart, you may need the guidance of a counselor to work through the steps of untangling yourself from the bitter roots of resentment and blame that have grown up in your heart. Do whatever it takes to get free. This is a critical step towards the happy life waiting for you. And, after all, a marriage is two lives joined together. The marriage will only be completely happy if both of your lives are released from the hurts of the past. 33
