The past, always finds a way to haunt us, despite our best efforts. Though it has to be stated, that many people make no effort at all.
But in reality it matters not where you’ve been, what you have done, or who you used to be. It shapes your character, refines your traits, there is no doubt about that. But it does not by substitution bring you to where you are now.
where you are now is based on a series of decisions you took, ranging from small and insignificant factors, to huge and profound revelations. Unfortunately though, where you are now can also be the product of you avoiding decisions altogether, as you merely drift atop this huge river of life aimlessly.
So ask yourself this question: where am i now? And is it really where i want to be?
As of today, as of now… As of this moment: you can be whatever you choose to be. It won’t be easy. It won’t be fast, but it can be your reality, should you choose it to be, and accordingly devote yourself to it.
Is your life now based on a choice, or more of an outcome to the daily random factors pushing you where you don’t want to be?
Are you in charge of your own life? Or is your life actually in charge of you?
