Past (Mar. 13)

Often one will take the time to think back over the events of the past and how they are currently changing what the world could look like. History text books are written and teachers calim that it is important to learn about the past so that the mistakes of the past are not repeated. A recent financial services commercial talks about the cyclical nature of the past and how one might be doomed to repeat the same mistakes that they have made before. Is the past something that dictates the future or is the past just a tool to be used for the future? Has the past determined who you are and what you will become or is it possible to be or do something that seems impossible based on circumstances? These questions really come down to one truth in each individual life. It plays out in different ways but it is really part of everyone. Will you let your past dictate the present or will your past be the motivation you need to do great things.
