The Past Lingers

We are all products of our past—the goals we’ve achieved, the mistakes we’ve made, the paths we’ve taken, and those we were too afraid to walk down. The past is always there, and the more we dwell on it, the more power it has over us. It is the shadow that controls us. Learn to step out of that shadow, for it guides us in directions we never thought we would take. The safe path is never as powerful as the paths riddled with risks.
