I want people to understand that they\u2019ve been an accomplice. When we get into our mindset that says, \u2018I am responsible for all the shit in my life,\u2019 we\u2019re actually walking away from doing the hard work.\u201d<\/strong><br \/>\n\u2014\u00a0Jerry Colonna<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cSo many people that I encounter, myself included, spend our childhood pendulating between grandiosity and a sense of worthlessness. \u2018I\u2019m either shit or I am the best.&#8217;\u201d<\/strong><br \/>\n\u2014\u00a0Jerry Colonna<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cGood people do bad things all the time.

And then we lose the connection, which is the thing that our children want more than anything else.\u201d<\/strong><br \/>\n\u2014\u00a0Jerry Colonna<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cWhen you lean into the questions that you need answered in your own life, you end up positively impacting other people.\u201d<\/strong><br \/>\n\u2014\u00a0Jerry Colonna<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cCan you apologize to your children?
