The past happened. It’s done. Gone. But how often do we let it linger, reliving moments that no longer serve us?
We have a choice. We can carry the past with us, letting it shape our present and future. Or we can learn from it, resolve it, and let it go.
The past can be a prison, keeping us in old patterns and beliefs. Or it can be a fuel, launching us into a brighter future. Even dwelling on past success distracts us from what is at hand today.
Use the past merely as a guide for a direction forward, and adjust as you feel appropriate.
