What do you know?
But there are things that you know
Things that you know
From where you’ve had to go
Where you’ve had to go
Today, instead of looking forward, take a look back. What have you accomplished in your life so far? Where have you been? What have you done? What can you be proud of? What have you learned? What would you do over if you could?
If we’re honest with ourselves, most of us wouldn’t change our past, after looking at everything we’ve learned along the way. Sometimes we think we’re stuck in a rut, or doing something worthless, and it turns out we’ve honed the very skills we needed a few years later at a completely different job, or in a completely different situation. Sometimes we think we’ve really messed up, and we’d love to have a do-over because we’ve hurt someone terribly – or we’ve allowed ourselves to be hurt terribly. But a few years down the road, we find that we really learned from that experience, and we’re able to offer or seek forgiveness (not always in person; sometimes just to the universe) and move on.
Take a moment to be proud of who you’ve become up to this point. Love yourself. You know more than you think you do.
