Your life experiences and past mistakes and achievements are your badges, wear them with pride. They make you who you are and give signal as to what you must become.
There is always a lesson in everything that happens. Tell your story if you have to, look back on your life and smile that, even that mishap, abuse, heartbreak, business failure and all the negative things in life that came your way, failed to break you.
Acknowledging your past doesn’t mean you are living in the past and hindering the future, looking back allows you to give gratitude for those precious moments and forgiving yourself for the things that you’re not proud of or the things that hurt you. Self forgiveness also makes room for progress.
However that doesn’t mean that you should let people use your past as a measure of your present or your future, to manipulate you. Always stand up for yourself and don’t let anyone make you feel inferior without your consent. When people feel intimidated by you they will always try to bring your past in the equation, just stay wary of such manipulative behavior.
You are priceless and make it a habit to only bring about the past when you’re planning the future or appreciating your life journey. Don’t waste your time on regrets about the past, whatever you wish you did back then when you were younger, do it now.
When people like to visit your past way more than you do, tell them, ” I don’t live there anymore honey, keep up!!!” lol
