Its okay to glance in the rear view as long as u keep moving forward

The past is inevitable, everyone has one; but that doesn't mean you have to act as if it never happened. The past is there to be a humbling tool by showing you how far you have come. No matter what obstacles you've faced, detrimental times you've overcome, two things are for sure.... you've grown and gotten better, that's the beauty about life. 

God always gives us sugar to go with our vinegar- from Being Mary Jane

 Do you realize how valid that quote is? At the end of every storm is a rainbow, and underneath soil is a seed waiting to blossom into a flower. Seek the positive in every experience, even if it's hard to find. Your life will be enriched with peace and joy, but only if your mindset is equivalent.

Looking back on the past can be therapeutic, inspirational and motivating. Where were you five years ago? How have things changed? Look how far you've come. The only constant in life is change, and each year something about you changed be it age, thought process,weight,height,etc; The mere fact that you are still breathing shows growth.

But don't dwell too long. Keep moving. Keep striving. Keep growing. Find your niche and mark your imprint in this world. Be confident and stand behind what you have to offer. The past does not define you nor does it restrict you; your chances are greater today because you are still here, make the most of it.
