Upon Reflection on our Past

How many times have we look backed over our lives and wished we had done something different?

Or maybe wished that a certain event had turned out a little better for us?

Looking back over our lives is an important part of moving forward as long as we continue to move forward and not get stuck in the past. We so often allow our past to dictate our future. We are not our past events therefore don't allow it to influence how our today will be.

Our past is just that, OUR PAST, however upon reflection we can reassure ourselves how we can live our TODAYs  and TOMORROWs, and it is a great way to gauge our progress. 

 It is not the job of our past to keep us in the energy of staying hurt, feeling guilty or shameful, or despising ourselves for what we did or didn't do.

Its job is to show us what we did and how in our PRESENT moments we can make the choices to be different, so we can create a more pleasing reflection in times to come.

In certain projects or reaching our goals, we learn to avoid certain mistakes from our previous attempts and this reflection can be used to congratulate ourselves on our progress.

If you have a bad relationship and maybe there was no respect shown or given, instead of blaming and recreating a similar pattern we can learn to be different and show or give respect to avoid repeating a similar hurt.

This is really the only time you need to look back, With admiration of how far you have come, how much you have learned and how much more you need to Change to become the person YOU are most content with? It is all about the choices you make in this PRESENT moment and what you see in your mirror today that makes all the difference.  Remember it is your REFLECTION you need to look at and let every one else view their own. This world is your mirror and what you see is what matters. You are the only person who gets to evaluate this.
