Oh yes, the past can hurt. But the way I see it,
you can either run from it, or learn from it.

if they meet life honestly

Everyone stumbles, everyone experiences difficulty, everyone has poopy
times. Everyone. Even Oprah. Even the Pope. Even me. Even you.

Yesterday's poopy times can help us be stronger, more effective, and more
appreciative of tomorrow's good times. I wish for you a few good times this
week, and just enough poopy times to learn something important!

Peace,
Paul
