What you need to know about the past is that no matter what has happened, it has all worked together to bring you to this very moment. And this is the moment you can choose to make everything new. Right now.
Have you ever been asked, if you could go back to your past and change one thing, what would it be? I'm sure we all have, and honestly, i HATE that question. I've learned over the years that it doesn't matter what your past holds, and no one should ever judge you on what you have done in your past. What matters is NOW, TODAY, and who you are right now. As long as you are happy with who you are today and what you are doing, your past shouldnt matter, and it shouldnt keep you down or be a deal breaker for ANYTHING.
We cannot change our past. We can not change the fact that we acted in a certain way. We can not change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I've never tried to block out the memories of the past, even though some are painful. I don't understand people who hide from their past. Everything you live through helps to make you the person you are now.
My past made me who I am today. And i'm very happy with who I have become. Would I change any of it ? No. Do I wish i could do something different? No. The mistakes and dreams of my past, are now the reality of my wonderful future I have ahead of me. Thank you to everyone who has been in and out of my life, shaping me into who I am. Without you, I would not be who I am today.
God Bless.
