thus freeing your mind to think clearly toward the solution
that is certain to come. Never take yourself too seriously.

to put the past in the past where it belongs.
However, sometimes a simple symbolic act can help immeasurably
to grant ourselves freedom from the past.

merely because we respect that person's
other ideas or accomplishments.
