Past vs Future

Contrary to what others may say, I strongly feel this is one of the toughest battles we face daily. Not just once a week or every couple of months but DAILY.

You can be strong mentally, confident in who you are yet something small from your past comes up and triggers all those emotions you experience like it was just yesterday.You then hold onto this for the rest of the day, it consumes you and overflows to your family and friends. You have created a ripple affect.

As much as you say “I am not my past” how can you live that when you don’t even believe it yourself?

Stop spouting questions like poison, stop looking for what’s not there. Stop! You are not your partner’s past. You cannot give someone you haven’t even met, that much power over you. Enough!

You as a person cannot live out your destiny, purpose and gifting in this life if you continue to look back. Don’t be that person that takes 5 steps forward then 3 back — it’s exhausting.

Learn to love yourself. Love yourself every single day. Confidence is a mental thing. If cooking or working on a project whilst listening to Eye of the Tiger does it for you then do it! Make it your own, do what works for you!

Life will be so much easier to walk if you carry a lighter load of a better future and a brighter tomorrow.

Be proud of how far you have come and the things that have shaped you as a human being. Learn from them and move on.

Create those positive ripples.
