You grow from your past experiences. The hardships from years past have molded you into the strong, independent individual you are today.


Be thankful for the necessary life lessons your past mistakes have taught you. Remember mistakes are a part of life and personal experience is truly the best way to learn. Now it is the time to enjoy the wisdom because of your past mistakes.


Your decisions in the past are irrelevant to the person you wish to become. Your future is in your hands. You are the master of what you do with your life and the approach you take in order to reach your goals.


The future is a bottomless sea of opportunity. It is a buffet where you can feast on all cuisines life has to offer. You can choose any dish you want according to your own personal taste, rather than because of your past that limits your choices!


For example, you can go back to school even if you dropped out. You can rekindle relationships that you let wane. You can sell your house and move back home if you miss your roots or move elsewhere if you yearn for something greater.


You understand that building the future of your dreams starts with taking that first step today. Regardless of your past, you can build the future you desire and make your dreams a reality!


Today, you can choose to break the chains of your past and begin building the future you deserve. Life is about moving forward, so refuse to let the past hold you captive!


Self-Reflection Questions:


Have I allowed my past to dictate my present?


Am I afraid of pursuing opportunities due to fears caused by events in my past?


What can I do to work toward making my dreams a reality?
