The Past

What you need to know about the past is that no matter what has happened, it has all worked together to bring you to this very moment.  And this is the moment you can choose to make everything new.  Right now.

The Past
Your past is just that; circumstances that have already occurred.  They are not happening at this present moment in time. Right now you are reading the Daily Pearl and yet your mind keeps trying to wonder backwards.  It wants to stay in the past and usually at a point that wasn't very pleasant.  Well it's time to not let that happen.  Your past cannot be changed.  No matter how much you wish it would have been different, it was not and cannot be undone.  What can be undone is your whole life ahead of you by insisting you pick up your past every day and drag it around on your shoulders.  By keeping the hurt, disappointment, anger, frustration and pain of your past, you are denying yourself a beautiful future.  You can no longer carry both the past and the present on your shoulders.  There is only room for one.  Which one are you going to choose?  Are you willing to stay in a place of hurt and anguish for the rest of your life or are you willing to finally place it down and leave it there so that you can now walk in peace and build the life you truly want and deserve to live?  Which do you want more?  The time has come to stop picking at your old wounds and scars.  It's time to let them close up and heal.  Remember your past but under no circumstance let it dictate your bright and beautiful future.
