Embrace your inheritance

You have inherited a past. You cannot ignore it. You don't have to live up to it. You can try to better yourself by doing things differently than how you were raised, but until you accept the bounty of your all your inheritance - good or bad - you will never be free. Know that your ancestors, your relatives, your parents or friends were not wrong in how they lived their lives but struggled just like you might be struggling now. Their legacy, like yours, will be defined by how much you think their lessons are worth.
