The Past

Most people tell us to look to the future, and that can be fine.
But if you told me that you didn't think about the past, you would be lying
It made you who you are
It's prepared you and gave you a start
Without your past there is no present
And without the present would your future be present?
I'm not saying to live in the past
But if you don't learn,
How will you how will you get past
The barriers that are with you now
If a tree falls in your past, do you remember the sound? 
Don't see it as a bad thing, don't see it as crippling
Your past is what made a new beginning.

  1. That's so true!!! We need to just glance backwards then continue on in the present.

  2. Yes! If you don't look at the past, you can't learn and better yourself for the future.
    This whole post is so touching.

  4. The Past is an Experience.
    The Present is an Experiment.
    The Future is an Expectation
    Use your Experience in your Experiments
    To achieve your Expectations.
