What Happened is Done

  

I work really hard to leave my past in the past, but it certainly is not easy. I believe that the things that have and will happen to me in this life all help make me the person I am. 

I choose to leave these moments in my past. I don’t dwell on what could be, instead I show gratitude for each of the things I learn, and move on. Some would say that this is cold hearted, but I say its survival. By allowing myself to move past I am able to continue in life. 

In my life, each and every challenge I have been faced with has helped me grow strong enough to be able to work my way through the next one. Of course there is no proof that I would react any differently without these precursor events.

   

We are who we are. It is an interesting thought that we are exactly where we are supposed to be. Have you ever paused to think about this?  Is our life prearranged?  Do we actually gave any control over what will or will not happen?  

I have thought about this idea often and I still don’t have a conclusion. When we are born is there a life map already created?  Does this map indicate our life experiences?  Our death?  Our relationships?  Perhaps it is like a novel that has options at several points, like a ‘Y’ in the road. If we go left we will have one life, if we go right we will have a different life. 

 

Within the parameters of our life we go through tough times, happy times, births, deaths, relationships and so much more. Part of what keeps us going is the support of those around us. As I said I believe we get the strength to survive these events from our past experiences. 

When offering support to those around you be your authentic self. Take the time to be there, sometimes that is the greatest gift you can give. 

As I work my way through my latest challenges I am very grateful for those who took the time to offer their support.  I choose to move forward in life, embracing the here and now, while simultaneously learning from my past experiences.
