DON'T LET YOUR PAST RUIN YOUR FUTURE
We all carry baggage from our past, mistakes we want to erase, failures want to reattempt, regrets we want to amend, and moments we wish we could rewrite. As much as these things may have some effects on our today or even tomorrow, we must not let the weight of these events of yesterday drag us down or stop us from moving forward, otherwise, we risk missing the beauty and opportunity that tomorrow has in store for us.
Your past does not have to define who you are today. Every stumble, every wrong turn, every heartache was a lesson, not a life sentence. The only power your yesterday holds is the power you give it. If you dwell on what went wrong, you blind yourself to what could go right. If you let your past prevent you from living in the present, you will deprive yourself of the opportunity of creating a future of choice.
Tomorrow is a blank page, a fresh chance to start anew, but you cannot write a new story if you are still reading the old one; you cannot open new chapters, if you are stuck on that which does not bring you joy and happiness, which does not give you want and deserve. Forgive yourself for what you did not know in the past, release the guilt, the shame, the regrets, they serve no purpose except to keep you stuck.
The best way to honour your past is not to let it hold you down, but to let it teach you. Use every failure as fuel. Let every heartbreak make you wiser, not weaker. Rise from every fall, the more you rise, the more you learn how to walk without stumbling. Your future is too bright to be dimmed by the shadows of yesterday's darkness. Let go of your past, step forward, don't let the person you were stop you from becoming the person you are meant to be.
To a better you, Kamikun John.
