Yesterday on social media, I saw a quote, “Never be a prisoner of your past, it was just a lesson, not a life sentence.” This really struck me as there are many times when my mind wanders to my past – the mistakes I have made, hurtful things I have said and done. Then I have to consciously bring my attention back to the present. Today I read another quote, “The past is not meant to be forgotten. The past exists as a lesson to learn from.” Interesting. Perhaps the next time my mind goes down that road of regrets, I can forgive myself, be grateful for the lessons learned and do my best not to repeat them.

I Found God today pondering words of wisdom.
