Our past is what has brought our life to where it is, in a sense it is what has molded us and brought to our present. Our present is where we are now, yet in a mere moments will become our past. Our future is decided by what we do in our present which ultimately becomes our past. I say all this for a reason, people always say forget the past and let it go, but reality is the past is who we are. While we can't live in the past, we should always learn and keep it close.
Letting go of the past is never good, because by letting go of the past you are basically letting go of who you are and what made you into what you are, good or bad. Letting go of the past, means you let go of the lessons you learned, and are doomed repeat them in the future. Everything in existence that happened before this very moment is the past, do you let go of history, do forget what happened in the world in the past. People say don't dwell on the past, yet we talk of wars, sports, movements and other great tragedies and heroics of the past as if they were today.
People only choose to use the line walk away or let go of the past when it's convenient for them, and this too and very dangerous, because I promise you, you can never outrun the past, it will always sneak up and catch you. No, the best thing you can do is accept your past, and face it, make your past work for you and not against you. If you can learn to conquer your past, then your present becomes easier, and your future more fruitful. you can never move forward unless you bring the past with you.
God gave us our past for a reason, not to to forget or ignore or simply pretend it never happened. No, God knew who we needed to be. Tomorrow is a new day, this is true, but what else is true is this new day is guaranteed to have us in it. If you keep forgetting the past in exchange for the future, you might realize you're planning for a future you may not be a part of. Time is delicate, time is precious, time is irreplaceable. Don't waste your's and definitely don't waste someone else's.
If something doesn't work short term like it should, then how do you honestly expect it to work long term. Simple question, simple answer, but most of us don't want to admit that answer. In time small problems grow into big problems because we shrug them off and say it'll get better with time, but reality is they get worse unless you face those past problems and fix them.
If you love yourself, then don't cheat yourself by walking away from something that can truly be a blessing to you. Walking away shows fear, shows confusion, shows doubt in yourself. Learn to conquer your fears, doubts and confusion by standing tall and taking a risk, and find out through experience if something will work or not, not through fears, doubts or confusion.
Almost all the world's problems stem from the past, yet so many people choose to do nothing about it, they say let go of the past, therefore never fixing anything in the present or future. There is no perfect life or love, I've always known that, but what does exist is perfection in the eye of the beholder. If you love someone, then they should be perfect in your eyes, if they are not, then maybe you have to ask yourself a hard question, do you really them or do they really love you. If someone truly sees you as perfection in their eyes, they won't give up on you no matter what. And it's simple, they realize how precious you are, and if they walk away, they will be walking away from the greatest blessing they will ever have in their life. And walking away from that, is like walking out on life. And you don't give up on life, because you love yourself enough to know you deserve that greatest blessing no matter how long you have to fight.
So, never walk away from the past, while you can't change it, it is who you are. The present is fleeting, and is a product of our past, therefore living for the moment means living with your past. Your future is now, and use your past to make your future brighter. Don't run from your past, sometimes it's our past that is the keep to our future happiness, we often leave people or things behind because at the moment we feel we have to or there is something better, and then that something better changes and we realize what we left in the past was what we needed all along, God does things like that all the time, and we tell ourselves the past is gone and we can't back, but reality is more often than not, you can go back, all you have to do is love yourself enough to try. Sometimes you have to go back to move forward.
So the next time someone says walk away from your past, tell them your past is what made you who you are in the present, your past is what will help you make a brighter future, your past in many ways is your greatest asset in life given to you by God Himself, your past is the very definition of your life.
Sometimes you just got to ask yourself, where I am now, is it any different then where I was and will it really lead to where I need to be, can it last the test of time, or am I wasting my precious time. Love, do you love for the right reasons, or are you making excuses out of convenience.
