teleology

Regardless of what may have occurred in the past, nothing is determined by it. It does not matter if there are past traumas either.

Example: “My home environment was bad, and that’s why I have a dark personality.” This is a life-lie. →

The truth is that the person has the goal of “I don’t want to get hurt by getting involved with other people,” → past experience as excuse

Instead we determine our lives by the meaning we give to the events

Next: change is hard
