Leave the past behind so you can focus on your future, die to the past so you can live fully now.
You must let go of your past pain, your struggle, your story; not because it wasn't important, but because your future, your life is more important. You see, you can't change your past, grudges will never get you where you want to be. Holding on to something you cannot change is insanity. Let go of it so you can live. You see, i could have focused on all that was wrong with my life, i could have played the victim card, i had every right to curse the world for putting me in this position. Why should i rough it out and others live in luxury? But i believe i needed to see all of that, to go through all of that to become the human i am today. I chose not to be defined by my circumstances, but defined by my attitude towards beating my circumstances; defined by my ability to rise above.
You see, i believe God only gives us what we have the strength to overcome, i believe God only gives us what we need to become strong; the pain i've been through, the struggle i've been through, it was all needed for me to be here today. You can't feel for other at rock-bottom if you haven't been there yourself, you can't have courage if you haven't had to fight through your fears, you can't have strength if you haven't had to get up time and time again from when life beats you down. You can't have compassion without suffering, you can't help others if you haven't felt helpless. I chose to leave my past behind, i decided my future was more important than holding on, than saying "Why me?" NO, i say "Try me!" Life tested me and i won, life will be back, life will test me again, but i know now that i have the strength to overcome. You cannot write the next chapter of your life if you keep re-reading the first one, the first one is no good compared to the rest, you are the author of your story, don't let others hold the pen and don't let your past publish your book. This is your story, be brave when writing your story, dream big, know you are strong, so much stronger than you give yourself credit for. Leave the past behind, plan now, leave the DARKNESS of your past behind so your can focus on letting in the light of your future, your bright future.
Dear Past,
Thank you for the lessons.
Thank you for making me who i am today.
Dear future,
I AM READY!
ADIO!
