Your past is just a story. And once you realize this, it has no power over you. Unknown
If you are letting your past be part of your present then your story just may be holding you hostage and keeping you from progressing.
Ever read a book where the story line just kind of seems "stuck"? Not much changes throughout. Chances are you may not finish the book - what would be the point? Chances are if you were asked to review the book your review might use words such as "dull", etc. A good story needs many things to keep it moving forward, to keep the audience - even the characters - engaged, and to bring it to an ending that brings closure.
If you use your past as your story line for your life today you might be stalling out. Certainly our pasts can be important and bear weight on our present and even future but they should not be the driver of your story presently. The past should stay where it belongs...in the past. It served its purpose as background and in order to keep your story current and relevant you have to move forward. Otherwise you will be stuck, disengaged - as will others in your life, and never have any closure. Closure is necessary.
Why are you letting your past wield so much power over you? Why are you denying the present, and even future, its chance at helping you live your story? Perhaps you are viewing the past through rose-colored lens. It's time to put on the lens of clarity my friend. Trust me. You won't regret it. Right now the past has control over you, take the control back. Don't let the past be your present and future, take what you need to from it and then put it away. Exchange your lens and you will discover your present is an engaging story line.
