2A – Daily News – Wednesday, March 30, 2011 Community people&events Older kids turn 90 The reason but not the right Many people have responded favorably to the columns I have writ- ten lately about the counter side of success. That hurting people hurt oth- ers and how chronic pain causes peo- ple to fall short of what they were truly meant to be, do and have. One of the reasons, I began writ- ing, speaking and teaching was because I saw a flaw in the success industry. So much emphasis was placed on the success end of the spec- trum. It all seems so out of reach when Courtesy photo Several members of the OK group, which stands for Older Kids of the First Church of God, have turned 90 in March within nine days of each other and were honored at a luncheon. Pictured are Josephine Clements, March 9; Hannah Engel and Elizabeth Haase, March 17; and Myrtle Birdsong, March 18.

It took research to find the underbelly of the success that seemed so easy for oth- ers. The truth was that behind every rags to riches story, behind every ghet- to turned Hollywood triumph, was a common thread. I want to focus on that aspect. Successful people who have over- come tragedy have every reason to be angry about where they came from. When they were stuck in the event that left them alone, hungry, sad, abused, forgotten, abandoned, tired, weak, defeated, victimized or exploit- ed they had every reason to be mad, give up, blame others, withdraw, lash out and be obnoxious. What they real- ized in their darkness is that though they had the reasons to be all those things and more, they did not have the right to act on those reasons and fail at life, be a burden to family or society, hurt other people because of their pain, become the very things that they were victim to, or to allow the events to define them. Each of us has a story. There is some aspect of our lives that is less than ideal that was created in our reali- ty because of something bad happening. It gives us the reason to be negative, but we simply do not have the right to use it as a crutch, a free pass or a get-out-of-responsibility-for- free card. Success is knowing and understanding that something bad is going to knock us down; it is what we do after we have been knocked down that defines us, not the event itself. I have a very colorful story. I the skies clear; but it includes a choice. When we are given the rea- son to lay down and die, succumb to the gossip or the uninformed, believe the hype, the scale, the report card, or the credit score we decide if that gives us the right to fail or to succeed. You have the choice Faydra Rector You Matter today. You can love your- self and realize you have been dealt a bad hand, you can acknowledge that you were robbed of your free- dom, your virtue, your self-worth, your innocence and your youth, but you have never been robbed of your future. Let your reason to fail be your right to claim it all back. Stand up for yourself and find a way to begin anew. believe that those of us who have the more challenging stories are special- ly chosen to help others who are fac- ing similar challenges. It is a sister- hood and brotherhood of people who have been there and done that and can model what it takes to weather the storm and still be standing when Faydra Rector, MA is a mental health administrator, author, public speaker, educator and life coach who lives in Red Bluff.
