Never Let Your Past Determine Your Future
One of the things that I have come to discover about this life is the fact that sometimes live throw to us what we least expect. There are some certain things that we are not planning for which we encounter along the journey of our lives. Most of the time, when we are not able to handle effectively those things live throw to us, it might push us to end up in making some wrong decisions in our lives and that is why we need to be very careful.
The truth is everyone of us have a past. Whether we like it or not, we have a past. Even though some of us, our past might definitely be rough than the others, but that does not remove the fact that we have past. Our past shape us and make us better than we can be. For some people, during their past, they make some serious mistakes that have left a mark in their life and it is looking like we will not recover also.
Sometimes when ever I meditate on my past, I wished I can just rushed back to the past and correct some mistakes I made in the past. But one of the things I discovered is they cannot be redeemed any longer. What I mean is that those Mistakes have been made. All we just need to do is to prepare ourselves much more for the future.
I have seen people allow their present to be affected because of their past. They were not able to face their future effectively and so at the end of the day, those bright futures they should have access to, they were far from it. It should not be like that. Even though we might have past experience, but they did not really determine the type of person we will become. One of the things I was quickly able to understand early in life which I was happy I understand early is the fact that life will always be filled with ups and down.
What I mean is you did not always expect to have a smooth ride every single time. There will be seasons in your life where by it looks like things are not really working for you. But the truth is, you need to constantly keep it going. There have been times in my life where I encountered severely failure and I feel like giving up about life. But I understand how life works and understand that if I should give up now, I might suffer for it. I didn't wait for anyone to motivate me to keep going, I dusted off and I continued with my life.
One of the mistakes I have come to discover that we usually make about our past is the fact that we fail to learn from our past. Yes I was also a victim of this many years ago. You see, your past is meant for learning. You need to continually learn from your past. Sometimes you need to do a reflection of the mistakes you make in the past and find how you can become a better person in the future so that you will not repeat the same mistake. It is very necessary I must tell you.
As I round up, I will like to tell you that no matter how bad and rough your past might have look, never give up on your future. No matter what you are facing right now, you can still become a better person in life. Yes it might not look easy but it is not looking impossible. Did not let your past to weigh you down. Did not let whatever you are facing right now to determine the outcome of your life. Yes everyone of us have our past but we should not let our past to actually define us because we can still become a better person in the future. Yes, you reading this, your future can still become better.
