The past is our definition....

“The past is our definition. We miss drive for good reason to escape it, or to escape what is bad in it, but we will escape only if we add something to it.” - Wendell Berry

Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery and today however is a gift, that is why it is called the present; but then we have to sit with the past in order to get away from it because reason is never automatic and those who deny it can never really get it.

For you to get to where you want to be, you have to remember and know for sure who you are and where you are coming from, and although those memories can be so painful……they will help you gather momentum for the present which ultimately will lead to the future.

Sometimes in life, some things happen to make you learn, you go through it mostly the hard way...... sometimes you wish you were dead. But men like us,……. men like us……we are just men like us and even outside the shores of our homes, we are just men like us and the pains just loves to try us.

What part of your past are you trying to walk away from? Have you checked to see if it will act as a compass for you to navigate? And when you do find it, will you use that as a compass to get to the next level?

Lovely week I say……..do have a lovely week!!!
