The Past

How did the Grand Canyon come into creation? Through years of water erosion in the ground that created an opening. That opening then turned into the huge canyon that it is today. But it would not be that size if it weren't for years of water erosion. That Grand Canyon would not be "grand" if it had not been for a history of "pressure" being applied to it daily. The canyon is a monument to the water that fostered it's creation.

And that's LIFE for you. We are a monument to our past. We can decide our future (for the most part; however, not everything is within our control!), however; our future is still based on decisions we make in the PRESENT, and the present will become our PAST.

Don't discount the past. That's foolish.

A friend of mine said, "eyes are in the front of your head, so that you can look towards the FUTURE, but your mind keeps it's thoughts on the past." It's the past that defines you and guides you. The past that aligns your FUTURE STEPS.

Look towards the future, but never discount the past. That's foolish. How can you learn from your mistakes if you discount the past?
