Don't Let Your Then Mess Up Your Now

I have been guilty of this for so long. I'm letting go of all of the bad parts in the past to focus on my future.

I carried around so much baggage, old resentments, old fears, old habits, and old living. I'm letting that all go, easier said than done right? Not when it's mind over matter, I can do anything I set my mind to. That in itself is a double edged sword because I'd get something in my head and I'd drain the life out of it. Never again will I let that happen.

Don't let your then affect your now. The past is in the past and you can't change any of it. Learn from it and move on, don't carry it all with you. If you get hung up on the times you feel you got the short end of the stick, sit back and figure out if you were the cause of it all. I have done that and I know I was the cause of all the things I carried around. That is an eye-opening realization. I use that as fuel to get to the future. Knowing I was capable of that and yet I kept doing it anyways, that's no way to live and that is no way to move forward. Every bad thing you carry with you will have an adverse effect on everything you try to take on. Break that cycle and go into everything with a fresh outlook. Don't let someone else feel the effects of your past. It's not fair to them, it's not fair to anyone. Always hang onto the good parts of the past but bury the bad ones where they lay. In the long run you'll be a better person for it. I'm already a better person for realizing it and growing from it. There are numerous times I wish I would've realized it all but sometimes you get stuck in habits. Break the habit, break the cycle and flourish!
