As wonderful or embarrassing as your past may be, you have to let it go and spend your time making plans and moving forward. Whether you want to go back because you miss happier times or you want to shrink in shame because of previous mistakes, the past is often best left there. The past is unchanging, but today, the present moment, you can act for yourself. If your mind is staring backward you'll miss the opportunities right in front of you. Opportunities to uplift, to change, and to create.
