Past, Present, Future

Sometimes it is hard to see the most important things in your life. Changes happen and you either learn to adjust with them or you spend the rest of your life fighting them. Over the past few years I have learned that what I experince daily are the things that I am going to treasure. I am not going to worry about what happened yesterday and im not going to think about what might happen tommorrow. Im going to live in the day and whom ever is a part of that day with me will have the oppurtunity to enjoy the day as I will enjoy it.
It is easy to be negative about past mistakes and unhappiness. But it is much more healing to look at ourselves and our past in the light of experience, acceptance, and growth.
Our past is a series of lessons that advance us to higher levels of living and loving. The relationships we entered, stayed in, or ended taught us necessary lessons.
Some of us have emerged from the most painful circumstances with strong insights about who we are and what we want. Our mistakes? Necessary. Our frustrations, failures, and sometimes stumbling attempts at growth and progress? Necessary too. Each step of the way, we learned. We went through exactly the experiences we need to, to become who we are today. Each step of the way, we progressed. Is our past a mistake? No. The only mistake we can make is mistaking that for the truth.
Today, God, help me let go of negative thoughts I may be harboring about my past circumstances or relationships. I can accept, with gratitude, all that has brought me to today.
