If you are not really at peace with what has happened in your life, then you have not truly accepted responsibility for the events themselves, and for your response to them. Any lingering resentment or regret simply means that you still want to lay blame, either at your own door or someone else's.
More Quotes from Robert White:
Look around you. The trees, flowers, birds, every animal and insect every living thing. Its miraculous. And it is all going to die. You will too, and so will all of those you love. The time will come when you will have to say good-bye to people. You don't know when. It could be tomorrow or next week. Yet, we live as if it will never happen. We get angry with our children or our partner, then leave for the day or longer, forgetting that if something terrible were to befall them, our last words would have been words of resentment and frustration, not love. And we would have to find a way to live with that.Robert White

I often wonder how the one winner and 58,000 losers in the Boston Marathon feel about that I can't imagine even one of those runners thinking of himself as a loser. I believe that for every one of them, to run the race well is to succeed.

The part of the iceberg that sunk the Titanic, for example, was not the 10 percent above the water it was the 90 percent below the surface that did the damage. For human beings, it is also often true that the 90 percent below the surfaceour unconscious beliefs, attitudes and habitssinks our fondest hopes and dreams.
