The Past...

Have you ever stopped and looked back into the past? Thought about the decisions you've made or the mistakes that you wish you could take back? I'm sure most people don't sit around thinking about the past because there is no way to change it but lately I have been thinking about the past I have created for myself mostly because it has shaped the present I live in and I have began to wonder, if I had known where my past decisions would bring me would I have made the same ones?

I do not think that there is an exact answer for this one question and I guess that is part of the fun in playing the game. As I sit here writing this blog for all to see I'm plagued with my past...no one should be plagued by their past. If you have ever watched the Butterfly Effect you will know that one small action leads to a sequence of events and one change sets off another sequence. So, in looking at the past and at all my decisions be them good or bad, I have determined that I have to take them all for that they are worth. If I went back and changed one small mistake I could possibly be changing one great accomplishment.

There is a reason that the past is the past. The sooner that we realize this the sooner we can accept the gift that is the future and live in the present that is today. And if you are wondering why I've taken the sudden stroll down memory lane there is a simple explanation and that is that history should not be repeated....lessons learned, experienced gained, tomorrow is a new day, live.
