  • that is one thing we cannot change is the past.

  • Mhm.

  • Mm.

  • Well, anything.

  • Well, I like to tell you that when I was in the cattle car, my mom held me and she said the following.

  • We don't know where we're going.

  • Honey, we don't know what's going to happen.

  • Just remember, no one can take away from you what you put in your own mind.

  • I'll tell you the time.

  • When I felt like a complete imposture, I began to work with PTSD and I had to Vietnam veterans, and one of them was blaming, cursing God country.

  • Conversely, the other one said to me, Hey, hey, Doc, I'm sitting in a wheelchair and God gave me a second chance in life and I can see my Children's eyes closer and, uh, the flowers.

  • And that's when I began to feel like an imposter, because I wore a white coat that said, actor eager Department of Psychiatry and I realized that I could not take them further, and I have gone myself, and that's when I decided to go back to our shreds.

  • That was really that pivotal moment for me to recognize that I ran away from my past.

  • I wouldn't do that today.

  • But today I'm here at 93.

  • I think young and I live in the present.

  • That is one thing we cannot change is the past.

  • Yeah, it's really about grieving, feeling and healing.

  • You cannot hear what you don't feel.

  • I was just getting a phone call that someone gave birth two days ago and the baby died.

  • So I'm going to hold that woman's hand and do the grief, because if she doesn't do it now, many years later, it's worse.

  • It's good to really face.

  • There's ruins and not to not to use defense mechanism like denial or delusion or even minimization.

  • Auschwitz was here.

  • It was also an opportunity to discover your inner resources.

  • And that's what I bring you today.

  • That that power of the spirit that I was really practicing in hair, um, like our streets.

  • I think it's very important to acknowledge that when you're angry, you either have something what you don't want or do you want something, what you don't have, And that's why very important to acknowledge whatever happened.

  • You made it this far, so the question is not why me, but what now, but you got to go through the rage and not to cover garlic with chocolate and not to try to minimize anything, because suffering made you stronger.

  • It's very important to think about your thinking, because what you think you create.

  • So I like you to do two things.

  • Think about your thinking and pay attention.

  • What you're paying attention to anything you pay attention to.

  • You reinforce that behavior.

  • Don't say yes, but say yes and furthermore, I made it.

  • I made it.

  • As far as I said.

  • The question is, what now?

  • Not why me?

  • I was chosen to be with you today at 93 having three Children, five grandchildren and seven great grandson.

  • I consider that the best revenge to Hitler.

  • I made it, and every moment is precious.

  • I don't take anything for granted.

  • I eat up every crumb on my plate.

  • I never throw up food.

  • If I can help it, if you take me out to lunch and chances her, I'm going to eat up your food if you don't or take it home.

  • So it was very necessary for us to really reach out to others and cooperate rather than hating because it was important for me to be able to from hatred to pity.

  • And I began to feel sorry for the guard that they were wearing the uniform and throwing people into the oven.

  • Children, even without gas, I was thinking that maybe they are the prisoners, not me, because I am innocent.

  • And I was thinking that it was important for me instead of hating them, to feel sorry for them because they were brainwashed.

  • And they were told that I am cancer to society.

  • Yes.

  • Every day, every day I would go to you and ask you to tell me about my eyes and my hands because my boyfriend told me I have beautiful eyes and beautiful hands.

  • And I said to my service, If I survive today, one day at the time, then tomorrow I'm gonna be free.

  • I never even allowed the enemy telling me that I'm never gonna get out of here alive.

  • And I said to myself when I get out of here, So I didn't allow them to ever murder that spirit that is with me today.

  • I give you a couple of things might do that caused.

  • Eddie is, um and one of them is that the opposite of depression is expression, because what comes out of your body doesn't make you a hero.

  • So share your secret and to be able to let go of geared and let go or worry.

  • Worry is in the future, and we never worry about good things happening.

  • And with that comes two very important words.

  • What if What if there's what if that And then you may come through what you fear, what you think you create, and when you say I'm always doing that, I'm never going to be happy then should enough?

  • You have a negative, self fulfilling prophecy.

  • Mhm watching your going through life with as much joy and passion and love.

  • Of course, no Uncle Zone and my definition of love is the ability to let go Mhm.

  • You cannot have intimacy.

  • And as you're willing to be vulnerable and love is not what you feel is what you do and you committing yourself to do everything in your power.

  • I never said life was easy.

  • Look at your birth certificate.

  • There is no guarantee.

  • There is no certainty.

  • That is probability.

  • You keep on walking, you keep on moving.

  • You're not revolving.

  • You're evolving just like a butterfly.

  • So I think it's not what happens.

  • It's what you do with it.

  • It's how you look at it as an opportunity for an opportunity to discover the ecstasy.

  • My parents really wanted the sun after two girls, and on the top of that I became cross side and I was three years old and my sister's blindfolded me when they took me for a war so nobody would know what an ugly sister I was.

  • They were singing, sings songs about me, that I'm ugly, I'm puny.

  • I'm never going to find a husband.

  • And today, when I go to schools, that's the first thing I asked the students not to allow anyone to define who you are because God doesn't make junk that I like that I love because we are one of a kind, unique put here in this earth, like being planted as a seed.

  • So I beg people to love themselves because self love is self cat.

  • It's not a narcissist.

  • Um, that's really important to get up in the morning, look in the mirror and say to yourself, I love me and I honored me too, Because many people can do what you can do, but not the way you can do it.

  • That uniqueness, that one of the kindness, that authenticity I celebrate.

  • Mm.

  • I have one question that I've always wanted to ask you, but I've asked a lot of other people this question, which is?

  • What does success look like to you?

  • Peace of mind.

  • Mhm.

  • Being congruent, being well connected and being a take charge person of your thinking, feeling and your behavior.

  • None of the positive thinking does any good unless it's followed with a positive action.

  • Mm.

  • Oh, yeah.

  • Mhm.

that is one thing we cannot change is the past.
