My Message of encouragement #6 - You are the future generation:
If your someone who can't let go of your past because you think bad of yourself for the things you've done, or things you wish you could of changed in your past that is keeping you from moving on, then this encouraging message is for you to read.
I would like to start of by saying that no matter what your past had or has looked like -- here's the truth. First off, your past doesn't determine your future in any way, shape or form. Only you control your future. You determine who, what, how, & where you will end up in your life -- not anyone else. You don't let your past regrets define who you are as a person. Sure, your background & circumstances may have influenced who you are, but remember, you are responsible for who you become, not who you were, so forgive yourself for the wrong choices that you've made in the past & move on to much bigger & better things in your life. That's how life works, you just have to accept what has happened & move on. I understand that may be easier said then done for some people, but I want you to realize that everything in your life happens for a reason. There will be times were life will bring you down, only for you to get back up & be stronger then you were before, that's how life functions. The truth is that you have a lot of potential if you really want to make a change in your life for the better. Sure, you may be dwelling on your past right now saying that you're a bad person because of your past or your mistakes, but the fact is that your past is not evidence of who you are -- your past is only evidence of WHO you were. That's a major difference & it's something that you need to learn. Understand that who you were, who you are, & who you will become are three different people. The truth is that If you don't like how your life is going right now, or if you wish you could of had a better past, then you have the opportunity to change that right now & for your future. It's never too late to change & better your life. You have your whole life ahead of you, as well many opportunities, events, & other fun & enjoying things that life has to offer to you, so why waste your life by thinking of your past for the rest of your life? If you keep looking back at your past, you can never focus on bettering yourself or finding your destination, or even living your life in that matter. If you keep dwelling on the past, you're going to be a complete, emotional wreck & miss out on the rest of your life. Is that what you truly want? Of course not. Look, there's a reason why are eyes are in front of us & not behind us -- it's because it is better to look ahead at the bigger picture than to look back at what has been said & done. Whatever has been said & done, you can no longer change. I can't stress this enough, please don't dwell on things in the past. It's not a healthy habit to grasp. Instead, learn from your past mistakes & move forward, & I promise you, if you move forward in the right path, you will NEVER want to look back again.
The reason why I'm encouraging you to move forward is because I've been there, done that. Even I dwell on my past a few times & wish I could of done, said, or approached something differently then before, but I've learned to keep the past behind. So don't think for one second that you're the only person who dwells on their past or wish they could have had a better past, because that's not true. There are many people who are in the same boat as you are -- just some people are more discreet about it then others. Look, no matter what kind of past you had -- I don't care if you had a bad, great or perfect past. We ALL have our moments were we wish we could of done or said something differently in our past. I know for a fact that we all have our moments & we all have had our fair share of bad experiences. However, it's about how you deal & cope with situations like this that will help send you off to a more positive, but encouraging track. I want you all to remember that no matter how much you dwell on the past, or no matter how much you reflect on the bad things that have happened in your life -- that there is nothing to be ashamed about. In fact, there is hope waiting for you & you don't have to be stuck where you're at now in your life. You can do this. God would never ever give you anything that you weren't able to handle on your own. You have friends, parents, strangers & even random people who support you & are on your side. Think good thoughts about your life & lay the negatives to rest. Don't let the enemy destroy you emotionally & mentally inside. Seek God, or those to help you get through your life for the better.
