Keep it moving. Keep going. Let your past be in your past and look to the future. How many times have you heard that? Although I do agree, I also believe that in order for us to keep going in the right direction, we have to assess where you have come from. The lessons that we have learned yesterday, last week, two months prior, four years ago, have had deliberate impact on who we have become today. How can we clearly make wise decisions concerning what is before us, if we have not studied the mistakes of what remains behind us?
Looking back is not a bad thing. Don’t look back with regret because everything happens for a reason and all things are working for the good. Look back and smile. You can smile due to the fact that what you thought could not achieve, you have. What you thought you could not overcome, you did. When you believed yourself to be weak, look at the strength that you have gained. You are a different person, formed from your experiences. It is okay to move forward but hold a small piece of your past in your pocket. This will be a reminder that you are great, you can do it, and that the best is yet to come.
