Let Go Of The Past

Have you ever seen someone so plagued by the past that it haunts their entire being? Where the past has such a firm grip upon the soul of them that it takes control of their life? It’s like they are dragging this massive weight behind them that is holding themselves back from moving forward.

I am a firm believer that if you want to have a future, you must let go of the past.

The past is a double edged sword. It can be a great thing and a terrible thing. In some senses, the past can give you experiences that can keep you from danger in the future. I’m not saying you should forget those. Learn from them. However, the past can also keep you from living a full happy life as well. Have you ever dealt with someone who has had a terrible unhealthy relationship? The past can take control of their life and hurt all of their future relationships by making people pay for other’s mistakes. We can be so worried about not letting the things that happened before, happen again, that we forget to live the life we have right now in front of us. Before we know it, we can look up and it’s over. Don’t be that person that one day realizes they have wasted years of their life due to the past having reign over them. It can be helpful, but it can also suck the life inside out of you.

Don’t let the past keep you from having a future. It’s your choice if you give the past power over you. Yours and yours alone. You have the choice to build yourself up again and move on, or let it keep control over you. You can let the circumstances shape you or you can do the shaping.
