THOUGHTS!!!

Don't cling to your past. Ever. Don't cling to the comfort it may ensure or hide in the security it seems to promise. For there is always, ALWAYS a reason your past never made it to your future!!~
~Over the last little bit this quote and a few other things like the song by Sugarland Settlin' have really provoked some thoughts in me......the more I think about how I am, because if you think about it I know for me at least it is easy to get caught up in what you once had or what use to be because of the comfort that is in the past it is the easiest thing to turn to because it seems to be so easy not having to worry about getting to know new people or moving past what use to be....knowing that you know all about this person or group of people and how frightening change can be and rather than facing that sometimes we give in to what is easier and settle for less because we don't want to face the confrontations that may arouse from the change and moving on or maybe not even having to face any confrontations but just settling because its what we have always done...but then you read on in the rest of the quote and if you think about it there is a reason for everything and there is a reason that your past hasn't made it to your future and rather than thinking about what could have been why not move on and get past that....you have to take chances in life granted you might get hurt taking some chances but you will be okay and that's what life is all about you have to learn from your mistakes and overcome them let them help you be a stronger person..so instead of trying to make your past your future why not live life and go with whatever you may face today and stop worrying about yesterday.......and as Sugarland says "I ain't settlin' with just gettin by Ive had enough so so for the rest of my life I'm tired of shootin to low so raise the bar high" this really says it pretty well for me I'm tired of settling with the okay and the good why not aim for the best and move on!!
