More From Eleanor Roosevelt

Somewhere along the line of development we discover what we really are and then make our real decision for which we are responsible. make that decision primarily for yourself because you can never really live anyone else's lie, not even your child's. the influence you exert is through your own life and what you become yourself.

You exert a certain degree of influence, and be it ever so small, it affects some person or persons, and for the results of the influence you exert you are held accountable. you, therefore, whether you acknowledge it or not, have assumed an importance before god and man that cannot be overlooked.

But the worst enemy you can meet will always be yourself; you lie in wait for yourself in caverns and forests. lonely one, you are going the way to yourself! and your way goes past yourself, and past your seven devils! you will be a heretic to yourself and witch and soothsayer and fool and doubter and unholy one and villain. you must be ready to burn yourself in your own flame: how could you become new, if you had not first become ashes?
Being Yourself Lonely Lying
Think of each wound as you would of a child who has been hurt by a friend. as long as that child is ranting and raving, trying to get back at the friend, one wound leads to another. but when the child can experience the consoling embrace of a parent, she or he can live through the pain, return to the friend, forgive, and build up a new relationship. be gentle with yourself, and let your heart be your loving parent as you live your wounds through.
