As you grow, some people (maybe not all) see the distance that you have put between you and the poor choices of yesterday. Some people meet you for the first time as the NEW YOU and have no knowledge of who you used to be - the tragedy of "back when." Some people have forgiven you, now embrace you, now celebrate you, and encourage you on your forward journey.
It is important that you become "some people" to yourself. It is easy to build your own cage in your mind, disregard your growth, and once again imprison yourself. Don't do it. Freedom comes when YOU forgive YOU! Wholeness comes when YOU accept, address, let go, and move forward. It's not about "pretending" the past didn't happen. It's about leaving the past in its place, and giving yourself permission to say, "That was then, and this is now." Greatness comes when you ALLOW yourself the space, room, and opportunity to not only grow but operate in that transformation. There's a song that says, "Take the shackles off my feet so I can dance." So, put a quarter in your mental jukebox. It's time to DANCE!
Change your mindset. Change your life. #inspire
