I think I can sum up your point as "getting out of the box". Sometimes others place us in a box, sometimes we put ourselves there, but it's hard to grow very much when you live in a box.

I think there is a danger in letting our worst moments define us. Memories of past failures can be crippling.
Amen!

But also past victories can cripple us....if we continue to think it always has to be like that. An analogy...a football team uses a "play" that worked for them in the past. They get into a paradigm because of it and they continue to use that play. Well eventually the other team is going to figure it out, duh!
