Reflecting on Your Past - A Journey of Self-Discovery

Have you ever heard the phrase "don't look back?" Some people believe that it's better to move forward and leave your past behind, but I couldn't disagree more. I believe that reflecting on our past is an essential part of personal growth and self-discovery. It's through looking back that we can appreciate where we are now and what we've been through.

I'm grateful that by God's grace and mercy, I'm able to reflect on my life and know without a doubt that I have all I need to face the challenges that lie ahead. What once seemed like trauma to me, I now see as my testimony. Reflecting on my past brings me joy and the strength I need to push forward when the road ahead seems uncertain.

Just like there's a rearview mirror in our cars, there's a reason to look back in life. Sometimes, it's necessary to make sure that our past demons aren't trying to catch up and cause chaos in our lives. We don't want to be left in a place of depression or addiction.

Don't be afraid to look back and reflect on the things that have shaped your character, structured your purpose, and planted seeds of wonder in your heart. You have the ability to find answers and live out experiences, so never stay in the state of wondering "what if?" Embrace your past and use it to grow into the person you were meant to be.
